Watch Out, Cormac Is Out & About: Gritting Teams Battle Freezing Temperatures

In a response to the plummeting temperatures, Cormac’s gritting teams are out working hard. The gritting team initiated their first round of treatments at 12:30 pm today, marking their presence on the main routes.

Motorists are likely to spot these diligent teams working tirelessly to combat the icy conditions.

With forecasts predicting road surface temperatures to nosedive to a frigid -5 °C tonight, the gritting crews are setting their alarms for an early start at 4:00 am tomorrow. Their primary mission is to ensure that the network remains safe and navigable for the morning commute, a critical task given the harsh weather conditions.

Cormac is urging the public to exercise additional caution and to prioritise safety while travelling on the roads during this period of severe cold. The efforts of the gritting teams are pivotal in maintaining road safety, but driver vigilance remains equally important in these challenging winter conditions.
