ODOT details winter plans

CTY-odot02p-tanker

One of the tankers which will be used to distribute brine for de-icing. The tanker is able to spray sideways as well as down, enabling the sides of a Jersey barrier to be de-iced, as well as the roadway. The capacity of the tanker is 6,000 gallons as opposed to the trucks which have a capacity of 1,000 gallons.
