City of Oak Ridge offices and facilities and Oak Ridge National Laboratory will be closed Tuesday due to winter weather.
The city said only essential employees are expected to report to work. The Oak Ridge City Council work session scheduled for Tuesday will be postponed and a new date published later.
ORNL said the winter weather has caused hazardous on-site conditions.
“Select staff will remain onsite for operations essential to the lab’s science mission, safety, and security,” ORNL said. “Staff able to telework are expected to do so.”
The winter weather has included heavy snow and cold temperatures, and roads, schools, and businesses have been closed due to the weather.
More information will be added as it becomes available.
