Weather can impact bridge construction and winter weather is no different. Similar to extreme heat, our cold and wet weather can create conditions that impact the work schedule and bring new safety challenges to the project site.
While I am always concerned with the safety of our crews, I am also concerned about the impact of winter weather and keeping the public safe while passing through the work zone. When the forecast calls for snow and ice, I turn my attention to potentially icy paths and roadways and low visibility conditions throughout the project site.
Preparation for winter begins in the fall. Signs, barrels and other devices are cleaned to improve their reflectivity and roadways are restriped. Drainage systems are cleaned in expectation of heavy rainfall. Our project’s success depends on a team that is well prepared and ready to react when the conditions changes.
Whether you are driving, cycling or walking, remember to slow down when the weather conditions are less than ideal.
