A three-day accumulation of ice combined with sub-freezing temperatures has resulted in the temporary closure of problem areas on city streets.

Minden Chief of Police Jared McIver said East Union at Ewell St. to Sheppard St., and Sheppard St. at the intersection with Fincher Rd. are closed to traffic until further notice.

“We’re seeing a lot of stalled vehicles and those areas are being closed,” McIver said.

McIver said other city streets are also hazardous and he’s advising the public to remain off the roads unless travel is absolutely necessary.

The following roads closed over the weekend:

1. Bayou Avenue (High Street to Miller Street)
2.Fort Street (Hardy to Britt Street )
3. Miller Street ( Main Street to 290 Miller Street))
4. Goodwill ( Pine Street to Bayou Average)
5. Recreation Drive
