The word is spreading among public works officials, bridge engineers and everyday drivers alike: Cargill's SafeLane® overlay is a promising solution to help make roads and bridges safer during winter driving conditions. SafeLane® anti-icing and anti-skid overlay helps prevent frost and ice formation before it begins, while sealing roadbeds to prevent their degradation. It also provides superior friction giving drivers year round traction in all weather conditions.
Steve Giese, INDOT operations manager, describes his experience using SafeLane® overlay on a bridge near South Bend.
Michael Sprinkel, VTRC, compares performance results for SafeLane® overlay to those of conventional two-layer epoxy overlays in key areas.

"Our goal is to reduce winter weather-related accidents. I like the added benefit of the overlay helping to prevent future chloride intrusion into the bridge decks,” noted Sarah Wilson, IDOT bridge maintenance engineer.

SafeLane® overlay acts like a rigid sponge, storing anti-icing chemicals inside, and then automatically releasing them as conditions develop for the formation of ice or snow.

"The bridge worked again. We had snow, freezing rain (A LOT OF FREEZING RAIN) and the SafeLane overlay lanes really never froze over. The west bound (non SafeLane overlay lanes) iced up."
