The severe winter weather in this week’s forecast could bring multiple impacts to the Fort Worth area.
This week's storm comes just under four years after the 130+ car pile-up crash on I-35W that left six dead during the February 2021 freezeThe severe winter weather in this week’s forecast could bring multiple impacts to the Fort Worth area, including water main breaks and increased risk for drivers.
City officials said they would have a fleet of 30 brine trucks operating around the clock should severe weather necessitate it.The city said it would not be responsible for maintaining highways or interstates like I-35W, the site of one of the biggest winter weather disasters in the area in recent years.
NBC 5 asked what steps NTEMP would be taking to protect drivers in the toll lanes during this week’s forecasted winter storm. “These efforts follow on the heels of our work with TxDOT in September and October, including updating the statewide Snow & Ice Management Plan and enhancing processes already in place,” the statement continued.“When water temperature drops like that is when we see an increase in main breaks,” said Mary Gugliuzza, spokesperson for the city of Fort Worth’s water department.
