Contractors Assisting City With Snow Removal

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) ― Public Works crews and private contractors continue to clear snow around the city ahead of another storm that is expected to hit the region today.

The parking lot at Mellon Arena was full this morning with independent contractors and city trucks.

In all, 33 pieces of equipment are on the road right now assisting the city in cleaning up the streets.

All of this is being done as the seconds tick down to the next winter blast that could drop four to eight inches of snow by Wednesday afternoon.

Much of the assisting equipment pieces are front-loaders, light-duty tractors and bulldozers.

With all the extra help, a question remains.

Where is this all the snow ending up?

Some of it being pushed to the side and in other places truck loads are being dumped in the Hill District.

KDKA-TV has been told that more civilian contractors are expected to assist the city and clean up what's left over.

They will also help to clean up whatever is going to be falling from the sky over the next day or so.
