Icy Roads & Delayed City Facility Openings – Morning Update (2/5)

Published on February 05, 2025

A dark, icy street in the early morning. Streetlights reflect off the slick surface, with faint tire tracks visible. Hazardous conditions.

Road conditions remain extremely icy throughout Medford, and we strongly urge residents to avoid travel unless absolutely necessary. If you must travel, reduce speeds, allow extra stopping distance, and use extreme caution. Conditions are not expected to improve until temperatures rise. 

Public Works crews continue working 24/7 to plow and sand roads. They are prioritizing major roadways and are working on residential streets as conditions allow.

City Facility Delayed Opening

Due to hazardous road conditions, all City of Medford facilities will open at 10 AM today (Wednesday, 2/5).

We appreciate your patience as crews work to improve road conditions. Please help keep roads safe for emergency responders and road crews by staying home if you can. The City will continue to monitor conditions and provie updates as needed.
