Winter maintenance performance
Number of grits carried out by year.
When there is a forecast for snow or ice in 香港六合彩资料图库, we may decide to treat our gritting network. We use rock salt to grit 2,371km of roads across the county. As a priority, we treat our Primary Network first which represents 30% of the road network in 香港六合彩资料图库. The Secondary Network is treated in severe weather conditions and only after the Primary Network has been successfully treated.
In 2022 to 2023, we carried out 54 grits in total and used 5320 tonnes of rock salt. A slight reduction on previous years due to the milder wetter winter:
