County Offices To Close Thursday

Posted on: Jan 29th, 2014 | Press Releases

Mobile County Commission president Merceria Ludgood announced that all county offices and buildings will be closed Thursday because of hazardous road conditions expected tomorrow.. ?While there is a forecast of warming tomorrow, roads will remain hazardous during early work hours and we can?t be sure when the roads will become passable,? Ludgood said. ?This is the safest call.? Mobile County courts also have been cancelled for Thursday. Jurors are advised that they do not need to show for duty this week. ?We are asking all individuals to stay off the roads since they are a hazard for motorists, including first responders,? said Mobile County Commissioner Connie Hudson. Road crews are out sanding bridges, intersections and some of the main arteries in the county today. But poor conditions persist. ?We have a one-inch buildup of ice on our bridges and most roads are iced and treacherous,? said County Commissioner Jerry Carl. ?Please do not drive on the roads, but if you have a dire emergency or must venture out, use extreme caution.?
