        WINTER WEATHER MAINTENANCE AND SNOWPLOW INFORMATION​

        UDOT strives to provide the public with safe and clear roads. There are a variety of factors that may impact the condition of a road, including:

        • Rate of snowfall
        • Type of snowfall
        • Anti-icing strategies
        • Weather forecasts
        • Winter storm maintenance standards

        Actual plow routes and equipment assignments are determined by UDOT's District Engineers using the winter storm maintenance standards. Maintenance stations will provide normal services as soon as available resources permit during unusual or extreme winter conditions.

        You can track UDOT plows at udottraffic.utah.gov or on the UDOT Traffic app.
