City of Bethlehem Mayor J. William Reynolds declared a snow emergency in Bethlehem effective 6:00 PM Saturday, January 24, 2026 to allow plowing of snow to the curb on designated City Emergency Routes/Streets.
All vehicles need to be removed from the designated/signed side of streets on Bethlehem snow emergency routes by 6:00 PM on Saturday, January 24, 2026. Vehicles not removed will be towed to allow for plowing.
One side of a snow emergency route is plowed at a time. Residents should check the signs posted along snow emergency routes to determine which side of the street - the even or odd - will be cleared first.
Residents needing immediate assistance while the snow emergency declaration is in effect should call our activated 24-hour phone number: 610-865-7115.
The following Bethlehem Parking Authority gated garages will be free of charge beginning at 6:00 PM Saturday until 4 hours after the snow emergency is lifted, to accommodate parking needs: North Street, New Street, Walnut Street, Riverport and Polk Street. Residents are asked not to park on public parking lots due to the need to plow these lots.
