Mark Buscher, MoDOT Superintendent for Maries, Phelps and Pulaski counties, said the crew worked nine people per shift, working two 12-hour shifts beginning on Friday morning and this continued around the clock until Monday morning. They used eight trucks, and one motor grader and one tractor. Buscher said 350 tons of salt, cinder and sand each were mixed and put on the roads.
