Road & Bridge Closures

Just a heads-up, Fort Dodge: Fort Dodge Police Department -Official- may briefly block certain roads or bridges when needed so crews can safely clear snow and make everything passable again.

These short closures help our teams work efficiently and keep everyone safe. We'll reopen each area as soon as they're done.

Thanks for your patience! Road & Bridge Closures

Alright, Fort Dodge... Let's Talk Snow.

We're just getting started on this storm, and here's how it works every single time:

Priority #1: Hills, bridges, emergency routes
Priority #2: Residentials
Priority #3: Dead-ends, cul-de-sacs, alleys

No shortcuts. No guarantees or promises something will be done by a certain time. That's just not how this works. We're at the mercy of Mother Nature.

If you want us to get through cleanup faster, here's how you can help us help you:
Stay off the streets - driving and parking
Don't blow or shovel snow into the roadway
Give the plows space to do their thing

We've got a whole city to clear, and our crews are out there doing the job as safely and efficiently as possible. The more room and cooperation you give them, the faster everyone's streets get done.

We appreciate you, Fort Dodge - let's get through this one together! And maybe hope Mother Nature spares us next weekend... Alright, Fort Dodge... Let's Talk Snow.

"Mamma Mia... HERE. WE. GO. AGAIN."

Fort Dodge, explain to us how we're on our second snow of the week AND the season... and it's not even officially winter yet?! Mother Nature is absolutely out here doing a full ABBA disco routine at this point.

Snow: "Surprise!"
Wind: "Miss me?"
Cold: slides in wearing sequins "My my... just how much you've missed me!"

Meanwhile, the rest of us:
We have not.

Our crews are geared up, plow drivers are stretching like backup dancers, and we're ready for round two of this pre-winter world tour.

Please stay home (if possible), bundle up, and let the plows work their magic.

My my... winter's showing off again! "Mamma Mia... HERE. WE. GO. AGAIN."
