As you travel, please remember that road crews and power crews are still at work, so please, drive with caution.
If there are work vehicles present, there are individuals walking in the area.
This photo shows county road employees clearing, Bill Henry Road, around noon, yesterday.
Thanks to all for their dedication to the citizens of Drew County.
The final line of severe winter weather produced ice of up to half an inch in the southern half of the state resulting in approximately 53,000 customer outages at peak today. Most of the outages are attributed to ice on trees and limbs, causing them to fall onto power lines. There are nearly 350 workers in and around the Drew, Bradley, and Dallas County areas. So far we have found 53 broken poles, 107 spans of wire down and several other locations with damage. Some customers in the Warren and Monticello areas will be restored tonight. It is likely that service to customers in areas with the greatest damage may not be restored until late into Saturday. Our crews and scouts are continuing to assess and restore service when it is safe to do so. We ask for your patience, and please know restoring your power safely and quickly is our top priority. We want to keep you informed. The best way to get information about outages is via Entergy’s view outage page.
This tree, blocking, at least one lane of Jordan Drive between South Main and 425, represents dozens of others that continue to fall across Monticello and Drew County, due to the weight of freezing rain and ice in the trees.
Roads are slick in places, but trees add to the danger.
No one was injured on South Main, Highway 83 South, when they tried to stop from driving into a fallen icy tree, but slid into it because of slick roads.
Please stay home, or at least stay safe.
The Drew County Courthouse will be open at 9 AM, Thursday. County trash pick up will be running 4 trucks, Thursday, starting at daylight, trying to get back on schedule. County road crew will also begin at daylight, especially pertaining to storm and ice.
Head of the Class will be closed today.
Monticello District Court (Thursday), is canceled.
Connelley Family Medical will be closed, due to power outage.
Reinhart Family Healthcare will be closed, due to power outage.
Drew County Health Unit will open today at 10am
Drew County DHS will be closed today.
DHS offices in Bradley county are closed today
ARDOT crews are shown clearing Highway 425 N., near campground loop, around 6 AM, this morning.
Although city and county road crews didn’t get in a photo, they are out keeping the roads open, while all the falling trees are keeping them more than busy.
The attached photo shows how slick the roads were late yesterday.
ARDOT has treated their main roads, as seen by the other photo, so some main highways are actually in better condition, today.
With that being said, outlying highways, and county roads are slick, according to Judge Griffin, early this morning.
Residents are asked to stay home, if possible, due to more predicted, freezing precipitation, later today.
