The Department have a substantial amount of resources deployed including Heavy Plant & Equipment and is being supported by a large number of contractors with similar equipment from across the Island, good progress is being made in a number of areas in an effort to open as many roads to the travelling public as quickly as possible.
Our priorities are to continue working with MEA and the Emergency Services in order to gain access to the most vulnerable.
Continuous assessments of the current road conditions will take place throughout the day, with further updates being issued as necessary.
The Department would like to thank the travelling public for their continued patience, in what are really difficult conditions.
