The roads will be clear at different times depending on where you are, the weather, and local plowing priorities.
Why it depends
- Each city or region sets its own snow-removal or road-closure timelines, usually clearing major routes first and neighborhoods or side roads later.
- Conditions like heavy snow, ice, flooding, or ongoing construction can delay reopening or clearing.
How to find out for your area
- Check your local city, county, or state transportation/roads department website or social media; they usually post real-time plow progress, closures, and reopening estimates.
- Use a maps or navigation app with live traffic and road-closure layers to see current blockages and when they start to clear.
- Local TV/radio, or news sites for your area, often give specific “roads should be clear by…” estimates during storms or major incidents.
If you tell your city/region and what’s causing the problem (snow, flooding, construction, accident, etc.), a more specific estimate can be given.
