MoDOT Trying Solar Power to Prevent Ice and Snow on Bridges
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. Every winter, the Missouri Dept. of Transportation (MoDOT) uses considerable labor, salt and other chemicals to remove snow and ice from the state's roads and bridges.
Within the next year, MoDOT will become one of the nation's first agencies to turn to solar energy to prevent ice and snow from building up on bridge decks.
