Prince George’s County Winter Storm Transportation and Road Status Update

Forestville, MD - The Prince George’s County Department of Public Works and Transportation (DPW&T) released the following updates regarding snow removal and transportation services:

Snow Removal Update:

  • A majority of the County’s primary roadways are passable, allowing for vehicles to negotiate the travel path exercising caution. However, there can be areas with snow or ice along the roadway.
  • DPW&T has redirected resources to secondary and residential roads, maximizing the opportunity to focus on clearing in the afternoon while temperatures are above freezing.
  • Additional contactors have been dispatched to South County residential areas to assist with roadway treatments. 
  • Operators are plowing by route and area to the maximum extent possible.

Information for Residents Regarding Plowing and Roads:

  • Residents are asked to remove cars from the street to a driveway or other off-road location so crews can clear the roadways.
  • Items such as basketball courts, trailers, and any other obstacles should be moved from the road to avoid obstructing snowplow drivers.
  • Residents are reminded to shovel their driveways after plowing has occurred and to remove snow/ice from the sidewalks abutting their homes and businesses.

Snow Removal Requests/PGC311:

  • Residents may submit snow removal requests to PGC311 48 hours after the precipitation has stopped.
