Roadway/Bridge Maintenance
Snowplow Sander Calibration Training (Minnesota LRRB and Mn/DOT)
The Minnesota Local Road Research Board, in conjunction with the Minnesota Department of Transportation, is offering hands-on training for calibration of winter maintenance equipment.
It will be held throughout the state at Mn/DOT District Maintenance facilities; see schedule below. However, because of the estimated high demand, we are limiting attendance to two people per agency.
Because of the importance of this training, the LRRB and Mn/DOT are sponsoring this training at no cost.
