Drivers can expect to see an increase in maintenance crews prepping interstates, primary and busier secondary routes as Central Virginia readies of the first snow of the season on Friday.

"Crews and contractors have been pretreating major roadways with a brine solution to help prevent a bond from forming between pavement and snow or ice," officials with the Virginia Department of Transportation's Fredericksburg District said Thursday. "As precipitation begins overnight and continues into Friday, crews will patrol and treat state-maintained roads with salt and sand. Into the evening hours, crews will treat for potential refreeze of wet pavement as snow and ice melt during the day. Be sure to give crews space to work."
