BUFFALO, N.Y. (WKBW) — The final travel ban in Erie County - for the city of Lackawanna - will be lifted at 1 p.m. this afternoon.
Erie County Executive Mark Poloncarz says main and secondary streets are in good condition but, according to Mayor Anette Iaffalo, crews need more time to clear some side streets. The county has provided additional equipment to help with this process.
A travel ban in Cheektowaga ended at 9 a.m., while a travel ban for the city of Buffalo and the rest of the county was lifted at 6 a.m.
The snow ban moved north of the Southtowns last night, allowing for crews and snow shovelers to work quickly to clear the inside and outside of Highmark Stadium ahead of this afternoon's Bills-Steelers Wild Card game, which was rescheduled from 1 p.m. Sunday to 4:30 p.m. today.
Shovelers are still needed! Erie County just gave the all clear for people to travel to the stadium to help out. Just use Rt. 20 or Abbott to get there.@WKBW https://t.co/7pSgCMg0my
