(Snowplow - KIWA Staff Photo)Iowa (RI) — Iowa Department of Transportation officials say crews are prepared for winter weather whenever it arrives.
DOT engineer Tony Gustafson says maintenance equipment and snowplow trucks across the state have already been readied for the season.
Gustafson told the Iowa Transportation Commission that the DOT still has a few temporary winter positions to fill.
He says that salt storage facilities are stocked and supplies of salt brine used for road treatment are ready for use when winter conditions develop.
