When Will My Street Be Plowed?
Which priority tier your street is in and how fast the City aims to clear it after snow — and why side streets and rural roads take longer.
Greater Sudbury clears roughly 3,700 lane-kilometres of road across an area of about 3,200 km² in priority order after a snowfall — not all at once. Which tier your street is in decides how fast it is cleared, and to what standard. When the City declares a Significant Weather Event, these timelines are paused while crews focus on the most hazardous conditions; the clock below only starts once that event is lifted.
The standard
After 5 cm of snow in 24 hours, the city starts clearing by priority.

These are the city’s targets, not guarantees

- A big storm pushes everything back; clearing can take longer than the targets.
