WASHINGTON TWP., CARROLL CO., Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – ODOT is getting prepared for snow, ice and cold.
They have been holding Winter Readiness events at county garages this week, like at the Carroll County headquarters on Kensington Road NE north of Carrollton.
The 13 plow trucks there were checked for 150 major and minor items, making sure they can quickly get on the road and stay on the road.
The Stark County garage in Canton recently held its readiness event.
They have up to 30 trucks available.
ODOT District 11 Public Information Officer Lauren Borell says ODOT county garages in her district are stocked up with salt, despite the shutdown of a Morton mine in Lake County.
Though Carroll is the smallest area county, 5,800 tons of salt was dropped on state highways, while 66,000 gallons of salt brine was dispersed.
