Western Maryland Dealing With Sandy In A Different Way

Maryland State Highway Administration

Snow Update: Allegany County has 17 plows that are applying salt/abrasives. There is snow coverage on the primary and secondary routes in the Western end of Allegany County.

Garrett County is experiencing blizzard conditions. 45 trucks are out responding. They are applying both salt and abrasives. *There is overall coverage on all roadways.*


UPDATE: SHA crews are working with state and local partners to reopen Westbound I-68 at the Garrett/Allegany line. Several trucks need to be cleared. SHA also has dozens of crews salting roads and working to keep them passable. Given the nature of the storm, SHA recommends travel ONLY for emergencies. Thank you.
