Country roads and roads in open areas are still drifting.
We just got done with the second complete round. Some of the worst drifting roads were hit three to four times today. They were pushed back with a wing and still drifted completely across the road.
We’ll be back out in the morning.
I suggest not traveling country roads overnight with the temps dropping to -21° RealFeel.
Please Stay home where you’re safe and warm with your loved ones!
PLEASE SHARE

02/13/2021

Country Roads are drifting.
We went over all our roads again this morning early and pushed them back as much as we could. By the time we were done I checked on the first ones we hit, which they had already started drifting.
We’ll be back out this afternoon.

02/07/2021

Salted intersections, bridges, hills, curves where snow was on the roads. Snow at 8pm has blown off a majority of our road surfaces in the open areas.

01/25/2021

ATHD intersections to State Routes were salted early am.
Some roads are slicker than others.
Please drive with caution.

12/31/2020

Auburn Twp Hwy Dist roads have been pretreated with salt/FA4 mix late this afternoon, since there is up to .25” ice and little snow in the forecast for overnight.
Just a reminder with it being New Year’s Eve, not all Hwy Dist’s treat roads with salt. If you have to get out in bad weather, please drive with caution.
Have a Safe, Healthy, Happy New Year!

12/19/2020

ATHD has been installing and replacing culverts, fixing drainage tiles and doing ditch work recently. We have over thirty culverts being replaced and several ditches being reconstructed as weather permits.
There will be at least two road closure projects that will be posted in advance to prep rerouting your daily commute.
Traffic will be forewarned with construction signs. Please follow their warning, slow down and make certain the equipment operators and labors see you before you pass.
Have a safe traveled and Merry Christmas!

I have PSE, (Public Service Employees) working. ATHD & OSHA Safety programs were given last week, a safety quiz was given and acknowledged agreements signed.
Although these employees have been instructed to wear all visual safety apparel, they are new to working near traffic.
They will be walking ditches picking garbage up before the next two days heavier forecasted rain, to prevent drains and culverts from being clogged.
Please slow down, use caution and make sure they have eye contact with you as you pass them.
Thank You,
ATHD Hwy Commissioner

***DRIVE WITH COMMON SINCE***
I had a call about a vehicle passing one of our plows that about put our tandem in the ditch.
There is a sign on our tandems that says, “STAY BACK 50 FOOT”.
The roads are slick and passing a plow on a country road is not a smart thing to do. These heavy tandems pushing snow slide easily.
Our jurisdictional lines stop midway on most of the country roads. We go past these areas for a short distance to feather out the snow so we can turn around and not leave piles of snow. If you’re behind the tandems, we can’t see you when we have to back into a turnaround point.
*CARELESS DRIVING CAUSES ACCIDENTS*

02/26/2020

Supertendant, Darren Root and I have spoken several times earlier this morning.
We both were out checking road conditions, up until 5 am the roads weren’t that bad.
The township’s heavy tandem plows have casters with the blades set to hover just off the roads surface to prevent the chip rock from blowing out of the expensive oil.
Some areas only had 1-2 inches of wet snow.
After the last conversation and the timing of the snow, Darren decided to call school off.

We’re out plowing snow and salting.

It is a wet snow, please drive with caution!

02/13/2020

What has been plowed earlier this morning is drifting across roads in areas. Once the first round is completed, we’ll start going over everything again. Watch for these drifts.
The wind gusts are strong at times. With slick roads and drifting, gusts will make steering difficult on these slick drifted areas.

02/13/2020

Plows have been out. It’s not near as bad as forecasted, but roads are snow covered and slick. You definitely need to plan extra time to drive slower than normal.
Hoping everyone is safe traveling!

02/06/2020

A plow has been out since 2am pushing back drifts this morning. It’s going slow with the icy roads and down to one tandem right now.
All east/west roads have drifting with frozen ice/snow in northern westbound lanes.

02/06/2020

Roads are drifting. Watch for hitting a drift at a higher rate of speed and oversteering on icy roads. This will cause you to lose control of your vehicle.
