INDIANAPOLIS — The Indianapolis Department of Public Works will deploy its Snow Force crews beginning Wednesday afternoon in advance of a multi-day winter storm system.

Indy DPW said it anticipates that crews will work multiple 12-hour shifts, treating streets with de-icing material or plowing accumulation, through at least Friday afternoon.

The first wave of the storm is expected to arrive Wednesday evening, with the second likely to have a significant impact on the Thursday evening commute. Snow, freezing rain and sleet are all possible for parts of the state.

If a roadway is impassible due to downed tree limbs or a traffic signal is malfunctioning, DPW said residents should contact the Mayor's Action Center at 317-327-4622.

The Indy Snow Force Viewer mapping tool will be activated during the weather system. Residents can use the tool to monitor where crews have recently plowed snow or treated roadways.
