Crews are spraying onto the roads and bridges a salt and water mixture called brine.  The water allows the material to soak into the lower portions of the roads, keeping it there until the snow begins to fall, and the salt can do its job.  <a href="http://www.deldot.gov/home/newsroom/release.shtml?id=5931">[More]</a>]]></content><category term="News"/></entry><entry><title><![CDATA[DelDOT urges continued caution / Temperatures are expected to rise overnight]]></title><link href="http://dlvr.it/KWSsvH" rel="alternate"/><source><link href="http://deldot.gov/syndication.ejs?cat=PR" rel="alternate"/><title><![CDATA[DelDOT urges continued caution / Temperatures are expected to rise overnight]]></title></source><id>tag:dlvr.it,2016-02-15:2388d09bb060eed61f01f94dbf38ce84</id><updated>2016-02-15T14:09:33-08:00</updated><content type="html"><![CDATA[Dover -- As snow turns to rain in all three Delaware counties, DelDOT remains at full staff and continues to plow and treat all roadways as needed.
