Road Salt Use Up

Warmer than normal temperatures this fall are allowing expanded use salt to combat icy roads in Fairbanks.  As KUAC’s Dan Bross reports, salt is more effective in some conditions and less expensive, but not everybody is happy about it.

Dan has been in public radio news in Alaska since 1993. He’s worked as a reporter, newscaster and talk show host at stations in McGrath, Valdez and Fairbanks. Dan’s experience includes coverage of a wide range of topics, from wolf control to the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and dog mushing.
