DOVER Del. – Delaware transportation crews are applying brine to roadways statewide as the region prepares for forecasted winter weather. According to information released by the Delaware Department of Transportation, liquid brine helps salt adhere to pavements and slows ice formation. The brine mix has the same melting properties as traditional rock salt but is applied in a form that remains on the roadway rather than scattering or blowing away. DelDOT notes that salt lowers the freezing point of water, delaying ice formation. The department reports sodium chloride remains effective at preventing ice down to about 15 degrees Fahrenheit. Officials also state that brining requires significantly less salt than traditional spreading, making it a cost-effective treatment. Motorists are urged to remain alert for active road crews as preparation work continues. DelDOT advises drivers to use caution while crews treat highways and secondary roads ahead of the incoming weather system.
