Gravel roads present their own unique challenges for maintenance activities during the winter months. This session will focus on pre-winter care as well as the many challenges faced while providing winter maintenance. What traction aids should we use? How can we plow without damaging the road or equipment, especially when roads are not frozen? Should we use salts or other chemicals? Attend this informative session, share your own ideas, and learn some new ones.

At the conclusion of this session, participants will be better able to:

• Identify better blade technology for gravel road plowing.
• Use the proper type of traction abrasive under varying conditions.
• Discuss factors that will reduce the environmental impact of winter operations on gravel roads.
