Sudbury Plows Complete First Pass After Historic Snowfall, More Snow Expected
Following a historic snowfall of 42.1 cm between Sunday and Monday, all Greater Sudbury roads have been plowed at least once. Crews are now focusing on laneways, cul-de-sacs, and widening main roads, with windrow removal underway.
The City of Greater Sudbury is continuing snow removal efforts after last weekend's significant snowstorm. Ward 7 Councillor Natalie Labbée reported that snowplows have made at least one pass on all roads. The focus today has been on clearing laneways and cul-de-sacs, which require more time due to equipment needs and snow volume. Crews are also widening main roads and starting windrow removal in key areas. GOVA Transit has resumed most services, though Routes 24 and 25 remain suspended, and several others are operating with detours. The city is preparing school zones and bus routes in anticipation of schools reopening next week. With more snow expected this weekend, main arterial roads will be prioritized, and side streets will not be cleared regularly.
