Road conditions map: See when roads will be clear in WNC following Snowstorm Izzy

The North Carolina Department of Transportation is asking WNC residents to be wary of road conditions in the coming days as they work to clear streets.

The department had crews preparing the roads for weather before the storm and said it will continue to clean up even as snow comes in.

In Asheville, the city's snow mapper  shows removal priorities. It also allows residents to search progress by address or street.

Road conditions: See the schedule of when streets will be cleared in the Asheville area  

The National Weather Service predicted Sunday about 8 inches max in the Buncombe County area before 7 a.m. Jan. 17.

“Even after the storm passes, we ask North Carolinians to be patient as our crews and emergency responders do their important work to clear the roads,” State Transportation Secretary J. Eric Boyette said. “Everyone should avoid driving in these conditions. There’s no need to take any unnecessary risks.”

According to NCDOT, while temperatures are expected to warm and some thawing is possible, the water on roads will refreeze at night and make travel dangerous in western and central North Carolina.

“The storm is bringing heavy rainfall with potential flooding and strong winds to much of eastern North Carolina,” the department’s news release stated.

“Travel conditions are expected to be treacherous for much of the state through Monday,” NCDOT Chief Operating Officer Beau Memory said. “Please stay home and don’t take the chance of driving, especially on icy or flooded roads.”

Monday snow updates: Snow plowing operations continue, focus on secondary roads and sidewalks

As the last flakes of snow fall for this winter event, City of Asheville snow operations continue in full force.  The Public works department has 38 plows working to clear snow from our roads and sidewalks.   The focus this morning is shifting to our secondary roads or “ priority 2 ” and sidewalks.   We continue to ask people to utilize the free option of city parking garages instead of on street parking.  

The City of Asheville and partnering organizations are still reporting hazard conditions on roads, and caution to only travel if necessary. 

All 24-hour services including Police, Fire, Water and Fleet continue to staff up and support our community as needed for this storm event.  Any staff in the field are coordinating transportation to shelter as needed. 

As the day progresses, staff will decide which suspended services will be able to resume regular operations into Tuesday.  Please check back for updates.

Several City of Asheville departments continue snow response throughout the city. When encountering someone who is unhoused, staff in the field are coordinating transportation to shelter as needed. 

If you encounter City Workers at a down line, please know we have to wait for our utility partners before the line can be addressed.  The phone number for down lines is 1-800-419-6356 or 1-800-452-2777.

Staff working in the field are on the look out for anyone without shelter and will provide them with transportation to services

Public Works is currently focusing on plowing our priority 1 streets. Primary roads have to be the priority for snow removal to ensure they are passable for our emergency responders. Here is a link to the City’s snow removal priority map .

We ask that the community limit travel and stay off of the road during snow events if possible.

With snowplows out on the road and in order to maintain everyone’s safety, we are discouraging people from sledding on the streets.

A reminder that City garages in the Central Business District are now free to the public.  The gates will remain up until the completion of the storm

The City asks everyone to limit on-street parking during any snow event! This is extremely helpful to our ability to clear streets more efficiently.

The MLK Jr. Day of Service in Burton Street Community scheduled for Monday, January 17, has been canceled. Keep an eye on Asheville Parks & Recreation website ,  Facebook  page, and  Instagram feed for  the latest updates.

Snow Preparation Posted: Jan. 13 @ 3:30 p.m.

Asheville Public Works trucks have already begun pre-treating streets in Asheville with salt brine as the City prepares for oncoming snow.

The National Weather Service   has now issued a Winter Storm Watch for the area starting 6pm Saturday.  The Weather Service’s website says: “Precipitation may begin as early as Saturday afternoon across parts of the mountains, eventually falling as mostly snow and increasing in coverage and intensity late Saturday night. Widespread black ice should be expected Monday morning, and may be a concern into the middle of the week.”

The Public Works Department continues its proactive approach to this forecast.  Pre-treatment of sidewalk areas bordering  City property is also taking place. This includes, but is not limited to: City Hall,  the Municipal Building housing first responders, Pack Square, Pritchard Park and Harrah’s Cherokee Center – Asheville.

“Our staff is steadily preparing our equipment to begin snow removal operations when needed,” said Public Works Director Greg Shuler . “We have plenty of salt, our staffing levels are in good shape, and our equipment is ready to go.”

Street crews are scheduled to report as the predicted storm moves in Saturday  and will be prepping and plowing streets as conditions require. Staffing will continue on a 24-hour basis throughout the storm event.

Please clear the streets so snow plows can get through

City garages in the Central Business District will be opened to the public free, likely around 5 p.m., depending on when the snow moves in. This is in effort to  allow salting and snow plows clear access. Everyone is asked to please ensure their vehicles are off the streets so our teams are able to continually clear roadways of snow build up or other weather related hazards.

For everyone’s safety, please limit travel and stay off the road during snow events if possible. Hazardous travel conditions could continue through Monday.

Clearing Priority One streets first 

Once snow starts, City Streets crews will stay on the job around the clock as needed, to remove any accumulating snow, first from our priority one streets, then moving into secondary / neighborhood streets as the priority routes are cleared. Priority one roads are major routes needed for emergency response as well as streets where ART bus routes run. Streets crews will also remove snow on sidewalks in front of City-owned property. 

The City’s  Snow Mapper  shows which roads are priority one.

The City of Asheville maintains approximately 4oo miles of roads, which translates into 805 lane miles. During snow events, Public Works removes snow from 180 centerline miles of priority one streets, 318 centerline miles of priority two streets, which adds up to about 400 miles, including 87 miles of NCDOT-maintained roads.

In case of power outages and downed trees

Duke Energy will provide additional updates once storms move out of the area and  damage assessment  is underway. See the outage map at  www.duke-energy.com/outages .

Pulling together as a community

We want to encourage everyone in our community to prepare personally and come together to look after their neighbors as well.

If you have regular medical appointments critical to your health, then please make sure you have a snow plan in case travel becomes hazardous. In the event of a medical emergency, call 9-1-1. For information on available resources call 2-1-1.

Asheville Traffic and Road Conditions

Asheville traffic map.

How to use the Asheville Traffic Map Traffic flow lines : Red lines = Heavy traffic flow, Yellow/Orange lines = Medium flow and Green = normal traffic or no traffic*. Black lines or No traffic flow lines could indicate a closed road, but in most cases it means that either there is not enough vehicle flow to register or traffic isn't monitored. Also, If you do not see traffic flow, you can zoom in closer to reveal localized data. If you are unable to pan the map, press here (to focus off of the map) and try again.

* In known extreme weather events or accidents, the map provider may still show green lines, even if lanes or the entire road is closed.
