NASHVILLE – The Tennessee Department of Transportation Regional offices remain stocked with road salt and salt brine following the latest round of snow and ice in the state. TDOT officials report the department is NOT experiencing salt shortages. In addition to salt already on hand, TDOT continues to receive new shipments of road salt to replenish any salt supplies used during recent winter events.
TDOT provides winter driving tips for drivers on their web site at www.tn.gov/tdot/mediaroom/snowbuster.htm
