December snows exceed DelDOT’s snow-removal budget

    Dec. 30, 2009

    The $3.5 million cost of clearing December’s snowfall might affect other programs of the Delaware Department of Transportation (DelDOT), according to the Associated Press.

    Just in December, DelDOT spent $200,000 more than its entire snow-removal budget for the year, by the agency’s estimate.

    James Westoff, a DelDOT spokesman, said the agency would spend whatever it costs to keep the roads safe.
