Goshen County officials are advising against travel in much of the county due to weather conditions.
The Goshen County Sheriff, Emergency Management, Road & Bridge Department, and Board of Commissioners issued a statement Tuesday afternoon, strongly urging residents to use extreme caution and avoid any unnecessary travel on roads in wind prone areas of the county.
The high volume of snow, arctic temperatures, and strong winds are making it difficult to keep roads open despite continuing efforts to do so. Many roads will quickly become treacherous and impassable, especially those in the northern, southern, and western areas of the county.
Authorities say all Road & Bridge equipment and staff are fully engaged in the effort.
Meanwhile, County officials, in conjunction with Emergency Management and Homeland Security, are working with various state and local officials, neighboring counties, and contractors to provide wide-scale clearing of county roads.
