Calefaccion Segura

• CDOT Crews worked on thoroughfares, arterials and collector streets. Work will continue through the night and all day Saturday.
• Road temperatures are expected to drop below freezing tonight and black ice will likely form.
• Travel will be hazardous and motorists should avoid traveling except for emergencies.
• CDOT advises motorists to keep clear of heavy equipment and trucks treating roads.  
• Report icy conditions to CharMeck 311 or street maintenance at 704-336-3200.  Dial 911 for emergencies or accidents.

Important reminders:
1. Motorists are asked  to stay clear of heavy equipment and trucks treating streets.
2. Property owners are asked to keep adjacent sidewalks clear.
Sidewalks should be treated with commercially available ice melt products.  Home Depot, Lowes and Ace all carry products that are safe for use on concrete.  The best options for safe and effective removal of ice/snow on  concrete are magnesium chloride and potassium chloride.  Rock salt (Sodium Chloride) and Calcium Chloride can both harm concrete and should be avoided if possible.  Never use products containing nitrates and/or  ammonium sulfate.  These products can rapidly deteriorate concrete.
