ST. PAUL, Minn. (KFGO) – The Minnesota Department of Transportation is starting a three-year testing program on new technology for its snow plows.
Among the five new or upgraded pieces of equipment are two slurry spreaders that will spread road salt more evenly and effectively. Also being tested is an underbody scraper that will clear compacted snow and ice.
The information gathered will examine the cost, the impact on the environment, the effectiveness, and the safety on the roads of the new equipment. At the end of three years, the results will guide future purchases.
