Stay off problem roadways in Cedar Rapids

City plowing crews will be working around the clock, making sure that main arterial ways are passable and that by morning, residential areas will have been cleared.

Public Works Maintenance Manager Craig Hanson said that despite the full-commitment from his employees and equipment, certain city roads are likely to be completely covered or impassable until the winds die down tomorrow night.

If you have to drive, Hanson said to stay away from roads on the edges of the city. These locations, historically, are the most problematic in blizzard conditions:
