Brookhaven Highway Department Preps for Winter
Town will pre-coat roads with a treatment to prevent ice buildup.
The Town of Brookhaven has adopted a new method for prepping its roads for snow removal, according to a report in The Village Times Herald.
A brine solution composed of salt and water will be applied to major roads and difficult-to-plow streets 48 hours prior to snowfall, which highway superintendent John Rouse said will prevent ice buildup and reduce the amount of time it takes to plow the town's roads.
"We think it's going to be a great thing for the town in terms of driver safety, as well as cutting down on personnel and material costs," Rouse told the The Village Times Herald.
