“We have the trucks ready. We have the drivers ready. We have the materials ready, and we're ready to go,” said Nancy Kuhn, director of communications for Denver’s Department of Transportation & Infrastructure .
Kuhn said the first crews will arrive at 10 p.m. Friday and assess the conditions of bridges and overpasses, as well as other trouble spots.By Saturday, the plan is to have 45 to 50 plows ready to go citywide. DOTI crews use two materials to treat city streets: a liquid deicer and a granular material. On downtown streets, Kuhn explained you’ll mostly see liquid treatment because of air quality efforts.
“If you have a street with a center line, that's the type of street that this plow would go down,” said Kuhn.“We're going to start to look at it when you get to that 5, 6 range of snow where we know that's going to accumulate on the streets, not just fall,” Kuhn told Denver7.In neighboring Arapahoe County, 12 trucks are on standby in town, while there are royghly 10 more out east, according to a county spokesperson.Materials to treat Arapahoe County roads are also ready.
