Winter is on the way and workers
with the West Virginia Division of Highways are making sure they aren’t caught
unprepared for snow and ice.
In Monongalia County ,
the DOH started preparing their snow removal and ice control equipment this
week at the DOH’s Monongalia County Headquarters on Grafton Road .
“This is called a dry run and what
it does is allows us to get out here and put our equipment together ahead of
the winter season,” said DOH Operations Section Head Jeff Pifer.
Pifer noted it’s better to get all
the maintenance issues resolved while the weather is still nice.
Similar prep work is happening at
DOH locations across West Virginia .
The first official day of winter is Dec. 21.
