Crews Gearing Up For Yet Another Early Delaware Valley Snowstorm
Pennsylvania Department of Transportation (Penndot) trucks
and equipment were being checked out today at maintenance yards around
the Delaware Valley, and brining operations in the five-county
Philadelphia region are underway.“We are spraying the salt brine on the dry road surface, basically to get that potential salt residue on the pavement,” says Penndot spokesman Gene Baum. “And what that salt does is, when the snow or wintry mix begins to fall, it helps prevent that bond
from forming on the cold pavement.”
