Safety should always be your first priority when faced with wintry road conditions. Please do not travel unless you have to.

Burlington's snow and ice removal program provides safe travel for emergency services, residents, and businesses in a timely and cost effective manner. Streets plowed by the city are categorized as Primary, Secondary, and Residential depending on their utility for emergency services and commerce. For a map detailing which streets are Primary, Secondary, or Residential, click here.

Many roads in Burlington are maintained by the North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT), including snow removal. Here is a list of NCDOT streets in Burlington. For more information on NCDOT snow removal, click here.
