Winter is inching closer, and NDOT has laid out how it’s getting ready to keep traffic moving if snow or ice makes an appearance in Music City this season.
This season’s readiness includes:
- 45 snowplow trucks
- 9,300 tons of salt
- 100,000 gallons of brine
- 40,000 gallons of calcium chloride
- 80 designated snow routes
Nashville uses primary, secondary, and post-secondary snow routes, which help crews prioritize major corridors and neighborhood streets. When winter weather arrives, keep the city’s interactive snow route map handy — primary is green, secondary is yellow, and post-secondary is blue — so you know what to expect in your area.
