Some products for snow and ice control may cost less in regard to materials, labor and equipment, but cost more in the long run as a result of their corrosion and environmental impacts. A balanced perspective should be utilized to ensure that any cost savings of winter maintenance practices would not be at the price of deteriorated infrastructure, impaired environment, or jeopardized traveler safety. The authors argue that the use of chloride-based products for sustainable highway winter

Drawing upon relevant literature, this work explores various dimensions of using chloride-based ice control products for winter maintenance operations. Winter maintenance operations play an important role in assuring the safety, mobility and productivity of roadways enduring wintery weather. Traditionally, nominal cost and effectiveness are the major criteria when highway professionals select the chemicals for snow and ice control. However, there are growing concerns over negative impacts that chloride-based ice control products pose on motor v...
