GRAND HAVEN, MICH. â With the snow and cold, counties across West Michigan are all dealing with a similar problem: getting the roads clear.
In Kent County, roads will remain icy, despite not getting much more snow. Salt can t work well given the current temperatures.
âAt 30 degrees, weâre going to put down about 200 lbs per lane mile. If we want the same thing at 15 or 10 degrees, we need to put on 10 times that amount of salt,â said Gerry Byrnes with the Kent County Road Commission.
