Excessive road salt can corrode your vehicle and cause pollution in the spring, but for many areas, it's a lifesaving material you can't get through winter without. Manchester Aggregate Supply in Manchester, CT provides salt, traprock, and fill materials to clients in Tolland, Windham, & Hartford Counties.  These industry experts explain some of the incredible benefits of road salt.

According to a study from the American Highway Users Alliance, every 10 percent increase in surface friction leads to a 20 percent reduction in winter driving accidents. In fact, in the same study, they discovered that thorough, regular de-icing efforts can prevent almost all crashes due to road conditions – up to 93 percent! Not only is salt incredibly effective in keeping roads safe, but it's also very cheap. While demand can lead to price spikes, it usually only costs around $60.00 (salt & sand mixture)  per ton.

Road salt is incredibly effective at saving lives and preventing accidents, which is why it's still one of the best road de-icing substances available.
