Hi, this is Miranda Thacker with your KYTC Minute. Snow and ice season is nearly upon
us -- and we at the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet are putting on our game face.
Last year, we applied 196,000 tons of salt, 528,000 gallons of Calcium Chloride solution
and more than 2 million gallons of brine to over 60,000 lane miles of roads.
The Cabinet's fleet of more than 1,000 snow plows has been prepped, and nearly 2,000 Cabinet
employees are ready to work as long as necessary to keep roadways open this winter. Plus, if
necessary, the Cabinet can call on 380 contracted snow plows to assist with snow and ice removal.
And once again, Kentucky's stockpile of 416,000 tons of salt is at capacity. This winter,
call 511 or visit 511.ky.gov for updated road condition information. With your KYTC Minute,
I'm Miranda Thacker.
