Brine operations scheduled
ATLANTA — Due to the possibility of winter weather conditions later this week, TxDOT crews are scheduled to place more brine on major roadways and bridges across our nine-county district starting Tuesday, January 7.
“Crews will focus on treating the most highly traveled roadways, which include Interstates 20 and 30, along with U.S. Highways, bridges and overpasses across our district,” said Atlanta District Director of Maintenance Jason Dupree. “The brine we put down on Sunday should also still be effective,” he added.
The Atlanta District includes Bowie, Camp, Cass, Harrison, Marion, Morris, Panola, Titus and Upshur Counties.
Brine is a solution consisting of salt and water designed to help prevent ice and snow from sticking to surfaces.
If motorists see mobile convoys on the roads, they are encouraged to slow down, keep a safe distance and give crews room to work.
In the event of hazardous conditions on the road due to weather, motorists are urged to stay home if possible. If travel is necessary, drivers are advised to buckle up, stay alert and slow down. You should allow for at least three times more space than usual between you and the vehicle in front of you.
If you must travel, please visit DriveTexas.org or call 1-800-452-9292 for aroundthe- clock updates on highway conditions.
