Presentation Transcript

POINTS TO REMEMBER Always give bridges and ramps special attention. Salt the high sides of curves. Do not over-use salt. Use just enough to get the job done.

POINTS TO REMEMBER Salt loses most of its effectiveness at temperatures below 20 F. Salt stops working altogether at - 6 F. Adding more salt to an already salted roadway can actually cause the brine solution to freeze.

POINTS TO REMEMBER Salt mixed with calcium chloride melts snow and ice down to minus 67 F. Maintain 300 to 500 pounds salt distribution per lane mile. Do not use Manual , Stationary Unload , or Blast unless absolutely necessary.
