Northern Ireland snow warning: DFI issues statement on road gritters as amber alert in place

The Department for Infrastructure has announced details on their road gritting service as multiple weather warnings are in place for Northern Ireland.

On Thursday, a DFI spokesperson confirmed that all the scheduled gritting routes were treated in the early hours of this morning and further gritting actions are taking place throughout the day as a yellow weather warning for snow across Northern Ireland is in place and an amber warning is also in force for counties Armagh, Antrim and Down.

One hundred and seven routes, that make up 7,000km of the road network are being gritted throughout the day to mitigate as far as reasonably possible the effects of the adverse winter weather.
