Crews will work 12-hour shifts until streets are cleared and traffic patterns can return to normal. Residents are reminded that City offices will be closed on Monday in observance of George Washington's Birthday Holiday and Daisy Gatson Bates Day. All solid waste collection routes will be delayed at least one day and crews are scheduled to work Saturday, Feb. 20 to catch up. This press release was produced by the City of Little Rock.
