MADISON, Neb. (AP) — Madison County commissioners say county crews are facing challenges when working to clear roads of snow amid complaints from residents and businesses.

The commissioners met Tuesday, discussing the difficulties county crews face when trying to remove snow.

Commissioner Christian Ohl said that many of the roads were covered with rain that froze before it snowed, making them difficult to clear. Ohl said the county’s equipment is incapable of removing ice from the roads.

Commissioner Ron Schmidt said much of the Northeast Industrial Highway is new so no salt or a limited amount of salt can be placed on it.

Salt can adversely affect concrete, especially concrete that is less than a year old because it hasn’t had enough time to cure.
