This week didn’t go quite the way that workers at Kent Public Works expected.
“We got ice instead of snow, but our crews were ready, working 24/7 since midnight Monday,” they said. “Using salt, sand and de-icer, they kept all Kent roads open for the duration of the ice event.”
They also fixed potholes created by weather changes.
Here are some stats from the week:
-
- They had up to 45 staff per day, split into 12-hour shifts for 72 hours.
- They covered approximately 200 miles of Kent roads.
- They used 112 tons of sand, 20 tons of salt and 3,090 gallons of liquid de-icer!
“A big thanks to our crews for their hard work and to the community for driving safely. Whatever Mother Nature throws our way next, we’ll be ready!”
