From Denver to Bratislava, VINCI Highways mobilizes for winter operations
As the first snowfalls are already blanketing in Denver, USA, and more are forecasted across Europe this week, VINCI Highways is prepared to tackle winter operations. Key priorities included equipping intervention vehicles, managing strategic salt reserves, and ensuring teams are trained and ready to respond 24/7 and as quickly as possible. An information campaign for drivers is also being rolled out with tips and reminders of best practices for safe winter driving.
As a global operator, VINCI Highways is fully committed to maintaining accessible and safe roads during winter, thanks to the extensive mobilization of its teams. The priority: ensuring uninterrupted highway access, even in the most challenging weather conditions.
Without effective snow and ice clearing, highways would quickly become impassable, causing significant disruptions to mobility. To prevent this and act before snowfall affects road accessibility, VINCI Highways continuously monitors weather conditions and anticipate changes, ensuring 24/7 readiness. At first sign of snowfall, the teams take action to keep traffic flowing. Field operators have undergone annual training and the winter fleet, which includes snowploughs, salt spreaders, and brine sprayers, is fully equipped for the season. Salt reserves have been strategically placed, ready for immediate deployment.
In addition to these operational preparations, VINCI Highways launches its annual edition of "Winter driving tips" campaign, reaching drivers through social media and service areas, providing practical advices for winter driving. Stay informed and prepared: have a look at our advice on how to stay safe on the roads this winter.
