ARDOT workers spent Monday and Tuesday pretreating the roads.
“We feel like some of the salt drine did take effect and will bond with the roadway and help us a bit,” Parker said.
“It’s going to be a long night of slow plowing” Parker said.
Benton County crews decided to wait until 3:30 a.m. Wednesday to start plowing the roads. They did not pretreat.
“Due to the predicted, forecasted heavy rain it’s just going to wash off as far as we could tell,” Melody Kwok, county spokesperson said.
