Title:

Winter Maintenance in Thompson Falls

Abstract:

A winter storm event, beginning 12/14/00 in the Thompson Falls area, resulted in numerous complaints regarding driving conditions on MT 200 (P-6) between the Plains section (Missoula Division) and the Thompson Falls section (Kalispell Division). The Plains section had bare road while the Thompson Falls section had snow and ice pack when the storm had passed. At the request of the Kalispell Area Maintenance Engineer, Maintenance Review was assigned the task of finding out why this happened. The Review team went to the area on a fact-finding tour and documented different treatment strategies and resulting roadway outcomes.
