KYTC District 7 highway crews in Central Kentucky continue to pre-treat ramps, bridges and overpasses today. State forces pre-treated specific areas yesterday as well.
The pre-treatment of “salt-brine” helps to melt and prevent ice from forming on road surfaces. The “salt-brine” is a salt water type treatment. This procedure is a low cost pro-active approach to address roadway safety concerns.
