NCDOT crews brine roads ahead of possible winter weather

WILMINGTON, NC (WWAY) — You may have seen NCDOT trucks out today ahead of possible winter weather Wednesday.

Division 3 DOT officials say they were brining the roads to prepare for any possible threat of winter weather in our area. They say brine is being spread across bridges and overpasses in Brunswick and New Hanover counties. Further north, Pender, Duplin, and Onslow counties are getting brine on the roads as well.

The brine is a mixture of salt and water that keeps the snow from adhering to the road.

The DOT is monitoring the track and says they will move resources to the areas impacted by the storm.
