As the blizzard cleanup continues, we understand there’s frustration in some neighborhoods about snow removal. This storm dumped a whole winter’s worth of snow on us in two days. We continue to ask for your patience for everyone who’s trying to help dig out.

So who plows the roads? In most cases it’s the state Virginia Department of Transportation or a homeowner’s association. VDOT recognizes the frustration:

Plowing more than 48,000 miles of neighborhood roads, much of that in tight spots around cars and cul-de-sacs. Thanks for being patient. — VDOT (@VaDOT) January 25, 2016

We're making progress. We know you're frustrated & we assure you we're working at capacity. We appreciate your patience! — VDOT Northern VA (@VaDOTNOVA) January 24, 2016

Fairfax County does not plow neighborhood roads (with a small, tiny exception of a few roads). We’re focusing our snow removal efforts on public buildings like police stations, fire stations, government centers and libraries.

Who Maintains Your Road

If you’re not sure who maintains your roads, we have a map that shows every owner of every road.

Who to Contact

Once you find out who maintains your road, it’ll likely be the Virginia Department of Transportation or a private entity like a homeowner’s association.

To contact VDOT, call 1-800-FOR-ROAD (1-800-367-7623). Please know we’re hearing of long wait times to get through because the storm affected most of the state.
