ST. PAUL, MN (MNN) – The Minnesota Department of Transportation spent a record 174-million dollars to clear highways in the state last winter.
MnDOT spokeswoman Anne Meyer says we saw a lot of snow statewide and many areas, including Duluth, saw record amounts of snowfall.
She also says the increased cost of gasoline, materials and salt were more per ton that they were in previous seasons.
MnDOT snowplow drivers worked more than 850 thousand regular hours and overtime last winter. She says that’s 100 thousand more hours than the winter of 2021-2022.
