MONTPELIER, Vt. -
Although VTrans had some issues cleaning up Monday's roads, it is more concerned with what could happen when a large storm comes.
Transportation leaders say they have about 20 vacancies, because people continue to retire in the aging department.
That means workers might have to work longer hours to plow the roads when a large snow storm hits this winter.
VTrans leaders say that's not something they like seeing.
"It does get tiring for them and as somebody as in a position of wanting to make sure our folks our safe then certainly I am concerned," said Agency of Transportation Director of Operations Scott Rogers.
VTrans leaders say as more people retire; the problem might only get worse in years to come.
