Snow removal in the unincorporated areas               

Johnson County Public Works crews will work alternating 12-hour shifts until the roads are in good shape.

Johnson County Public Works plows roads in unincorporated areas of the county.  

Public Works' process for snow removal follows priorities: 

• Arterial roads and those with hills, bridges, shaded driving surfaces or super-elevated curves receive first priority. 
• Crews will begin on collector roadways and residential streets once arterials are complete. 
• Gravel roads will only be plowed when snow accumulations exceed three inches.
