MONTOURSVILLE — PennDOT is out today pre-treating roads to prepare for any winter weather we may experience starting this evening. AccuWeather is calling for snow at times this evening into tomorrow.
PennDOT will complete anti-icing work today, which involves wetting the highway with salt brine before the storm arrives. The solution lowers the freezing point of water and slows or prevents ice from forming a bond on the road in the early stages of a storm.
Anti-icing trucks may been seen along interstate highways and other heavily traveled roads. The salt brine is spread from sprayers attached to PennDOT trucks. (Ali Stevens)
