Peoria Plans For Extremely Cold Weekend Weather

Press release from the City of Peoria:

Watch out as you step outside! Arctic air and negative wind chills are here. The overnight blowing and drifting snow has come to an end. Peoria’s primary arterial streets are in good condition for travel this morning. Pavement conditions range from dry areas to wet spots and some patchy areas of snow cover. And residential streets are also in fair condition, but many are covered with snowpack and may have some frozen rutted areas mixed with exposed wet pavement.

Overall Peoria roads are very passable for drivers, still, the Peoria Police Department’s traffic collision alert from 5 p.m. Thursday, February 4 is in place. Drivers are encouraged to travel with caution, drive slow and be patient. Current road conditions are available here: gettingaroundillinois.com/WinterConditions/index.html.

Bundle up everyone, this is extremely dangerous cold weather. Additional resources about our operations, including our 2020-2021 snow route maps are available on our Peoria Public Works Winter Weather Planning page at: peoriagov.org/public-works/winter.
