INDOT Prepares for Snow, Ice with Pre-Winter Inspections<\/strong>
\nAll INDOT trucks will be inspected by late October<\/em><\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

(October 15, 2015) – Indiana Department of Transportation crews began preparing for the winter months with pre-winter inspections this week. By the end of October, INDOT inspectors will have travelled to each of the Fort Wayne District’s 14 units to perform the annual inspection of snow and ice equipment.<\/p>\n

During the inspections, INDOT’s yellow trucks undergo a full bumper-to-bumper examination and inspectors look for mechanical defects in need of repair. Special attention is paid to the trucks’ steering, engine and brakes. Any problems are noted and will be addressed by INDOT mechanics prior to the first snow or ice event.<\/p>\n
