Abstract:
Winter maintenance on Idaho highways has always been a big challenge for Idaho Transportation Department (ITD) winter maintenance crews. Idaho's mountainous terrain and climate combine to create all kinds of maintenance challenges in the winter months. ITD has been using liquid magnesium chloride for anti-icing on some state highways for several years. This paper describes one particular success story for ITD, related to the use of liquid magnesium chloride as an anti-icing agent, is on a section of US Highway 12) in the northern part on the state.
