McHenry County Division of Transportation Winter Operations
The McHenry County Division of Transportation (MCDOT) is prepared for the 2013-2014 winter season. Here is some information about our operation and some helpful tips for residents and drivers on our County System.
The MCDOT maintains about 530 lane miles of highway throughout our County. Those roadways are divided into snow routes that average about 28 miles per route. In normal operations the Division dispatches 23 large snow plow trucks to the 19 routes. The DOT can also supplement these routes with several smaller trucks as well. The reason for additional equipment on several of the routes is the expansion of our roadway system from two lane highways to multiple lane roadways mainly in the southeastern portion of our County. Maps of the DOT snow routes can be found on the website. There are two different maps, normal operations and 24 hour operations. In event the event we exceed 16 hours the MCDOT moves to a 24 hour operation this reduces the routes to 14 or less but offers 24 hour coverage...Read More. |
