Beneath the winter snow and ice roads are crumbling and making the drive a bumpy commute.

Another winter storm is in the forecast, but it comes with its own set of unique challenges.

A winter storm warning is in effect through Thursday and snow is continuously falling and building up across Metro Detroit.

Heavy snow moves out of Metro Detroit, making way for bitterly cold conditions with icy roads a concern overnight and into the morning as temperatures plummet overnight.

Clearing the roads of all the snow is a big job, and it’s becoming an even more challenging task with the ongoing worker shortages. Some Road Commissions have to look outside the department to get things done.

The snow has been constant, and the roads have been slick as slush builds up along the highways, making for some real problems near Oakman Boulevard and Jefferies Freeway.

Like it or not, the snow is going to fall sooner rather than later and it has county road commissions in Metro Detroit scrambling. They need plow drivers and lots of them.

With Michigan winter approaching, Metro Detroit road commissions that are facing staff shortages are looking to hire.

(CBS DETROIT) – Road crews have been working around the clock braving the cold weather to clear the streets of snow and ice. The Road Commission for Oakland County is rotating workers in 16-hour shifts to plow almost 3,000 miles of road. The massive job in Oakland County won’t be done in 24 hours, in fact the clean-up efforts will move into Thursday. County road officials are warning drivers to stay clear of plow trucks and keep a safe distance on the roads. We had somebody that plowed into the back of one of our plow trucks on I-75.

OAKLAND COUNTY, Mich. – Snow emergencies are being issued across Metro Detroit as cities anticipate heavy snowfall Monday night into Tuesday morning. Local 4 spoke with Craig Bryson with the Oakland County Road Commission. AdUnlike any other winter, with so many people working from home, clearing the roads ahead of rush hour traffic was different this year. So it’s a little bit surreal,” Craig Bryson said. In Wayne County, road crews were called in at 2 a.m. on Monday morning.

(CBS DETROIT) – During this pandemic many professions has been deemed as having front-line workers, but construction workers put themselves on the front lines of danger every single day, and after two were hit just this week, officials have a message for drivers. “Please slow down and pay attention when you’re in a work zone,” said Craig Bryson, senior communications manager of the Oakland County Road Commission. Bryson is stressing the importance of driver’s safety awareness when approaching construction zones.
