Noon Christmas Day update from The County

The municipality is providing the following update on road conditions and snow-plowing operations as of noon on Sunday, December 25: The main County road arteries have been plowed this morning with the improved visibility.   The Norris Whitney Bridge is open Crews are beginning to plow secondary side roads as well. We are grateful for the assistance provided by the City of Belleville, which is supporting this work. The County has established an emergency route into all of the towns and villages. All roads remain closed by OPP order in Prince Edward County due to safety concerns and to give snow-plowing crews space to clear roads. The County has requested additional resources from the province to aid in the removal of more than 100 abandoned vehicles alongside County roads. DO NOT arrange to have your vehicle towed. There is a high probability that you will get stuck and further impede snow-clearing operations. While the offers of assistance are greatly appreciated, the County is not issuing a call for resources from the public at this time, and bulldozers on the roads will damage them. Another update is coming at 3 p.m. Christmas Day
