Snow and Ice

January 21, 2025 in CommunityServices

Extreme Winter Weather Conditions – An Update from Yeadon Public Works Department

In response to the recent snowstorm, the Yeadon Borough Public Works Department has been working tirelessly to ensure the safety and accessibility of our streets.

Over the course of the storm, five employees worked a combined total of 18 hours of overtime to clear snow and treat our roadways. We used over 49 tons of salt to help melt the snow and prevent ice buildup.

However, with the extreme temperatures we’ve experienced in the Northeast corridor, we are seeing an ongoing challenge. As the sun melts the snow during the day, the temperatures drop sharply at night, causing water to refreeze and creating icy conditions on the roads. This is a common issue in our region and is affecting not only Yeadon, but surrounding communities as well.

We want to assure you that we are continuing to monitor the situation closely. Our team remains ready to respond as necessary to keep our streets safe. Please drive cautiously and stay tuned for further updates.

Thank you for your patience and understanding.

Sincerely,

Public Works Department
Yeadon Borough
