FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

January 2, 2025
Indy DPW prepares to respond to first major winter weather event of the year
INDIANAPOLIS, IN – The Indianapolis Department of Public Works (Indy DPW) is prepared for the forecasted winter weather conditions, including a strong winter system this weekend. Starting tonight, Indy DPW will dispatch over 80 crew members to begin pre-treating roadways, bridges, and overpasses across Marion County for a snow event set to start later this evening. Indy DPW crews will operate on rotating 12-hour shifts throughout the snow event, which Indy DPW officials expect to bring up to an inch of snowfall with potential freezing overnight.


"Our crews are prepared to address the weather expected to impact our community this week and will continue to monitor and respond to any changes in the forecast” said Indy DPW Interim Director Sam Beres. “In partnership with AFSCME Local 725, we will remain focused on addressing roadway conditions throughout the duration of the expected weather impacts. We remind residents to give our snowplow and salt truck drivers space to work safely.”


Looking ahead to the weekend, several weather models show the potential for a strong winter system (Sunday AM through Monday AM) that is expected to impact several Midwestern states, including Indiana. While it is too soon to determine the exact track of the system and snowfall totals at this time, Indy DPW is preparing for the possibility of hazardous conditions and significant travel impacts.


Indy DPW reminds drivers to follow best practices when traveling in winter weather including:



- Staying informed: Before leaving home, find out about the road conditions. Drivers need to know the weather and their limits. Follow the

National Weather Service (NWS) and local media to help you stay on top of the latest conditions and forecasts.
- Time and space: Leave plenty of time to reach your destination safely. Remember to drive below the posted speed limit and leave plenty of room between cars and Indy DPW vehicles. Always watch out for pedestrians.
- Pack extra resources: Stock your vehicle with extra resources that may be useful. Some resources include water, blankets, chargers for devices, extra clothes, and salt.
