Snow and Ice Control

MaineDOT has a fleet of roughly 400 plow trucks that are used to control snow and ice on approximately 8300 lane miles of Maine’s state roads. Like most entities that maintain high-speed, high-volume highways, MaineDOT uses an anti-icing approach to snow and ice control that is very effective for returning roads to bare pavement after a storm ends. MaineDOT usually plans on an average of about 30 “treatable” events in a winter.
