The City of Branson Street Crews as well as others around the region continue to work long shifts to keep highways and streets clean.

Branson officials tell Ozarks First to get all 280 miles of road they are responsible for, plow drivers will work 12-hour shifts. They use a combination of salt, gravel, and beet juice to treat city streets. The beet juice is more friendly to the environment, which is important with all the lakes in the area.

Crews say the small break in the weather Wednesday was nice so they could rest up for current round of snow. 

Branson city offices were closed both Wednesday and Thursday due to the inclement weather. Forecasts now show Branson could get up to 9 inches of snow after the last wave moves through early Friday. This story is provided by ozarksfirst.com.
