With weather forecasts expecting snow tonight and throughout the morning tomorrow, the City of Salina will be pre-treating all roadways, bridge decks and other elevated surfaces with rock salt to help prevent icing at the onset of the event.

Staff is also making preparations to have salt trucks and plows ready, for deployment when the need arises.

The public is asked to allow ample space when approaching salt trucks from behind, as the equipment will be distributing salt to the roadway. Driving too closely to equipment could also present additional challenges and safety concerns for operators and other motorists.
