Public Works Uses Leading Edge Technology to Battle Winter
Page Content

During winter, the City of Vaughan uses two anti-icing units to help address adverse winter conditions and ice formation on roadways.  Each truck has a large tank from which salt brine (salt-water solution) is applied to the road surface.  This anti-icing measure takes place before a storm arrives to help prevent ice from forming on roadways.  This practice is especially effective on bridges and steep inclines.  The City of Vaughan is committed to utilizing the latest technology to keep the roads safe for everyone.
