Severe heat causes the sidewalk in Minnesota

Severe heat causes Minnesota clamp. The Ministry of Transport at Minnesota requests drivers slowing and avoiding driving at risk.

Pairness or swelling can occur when air temperatures change from moderate to severe heat, according to Mndot. During the construction of the roads, the sidewalk is cut into slices – allowing expansion and shrinkage.

Blacktop berth is more flexible and usually “explodes” but it may create stumbling blocks or diver on the road. Anne Mayer, a MNDOT spokeswoman, says this effect often occurs in the oldest sidewalk. Abzim does not look like, but it can cause accidents.

“Just as we see drilling at times, the weather has an effect on the road,” Mayer said. “As in the spring months, when we get out of the winter, we realize the pits. In the summer, when the atmosphere becomes very hot, that is when we see some twisting happens.”

Mndot tends to see more berth that confuses during the start of the season. Mayer says that the agency has received about twenty reports on the sidewalk that wanders in six weeks around the twin cities area and on the highways in Minnesota.

She said, “We do not tend to see the largest possible number of heat, but it is definitely a possibility.” “This is the second or third time that we have already had some intense heat, and we still see some of the problems of twisting. Therefore, there are definitely some incandescent events this summer because of the intense heat. It is something you want to see at any time … but with a decrease in temperature, as well as the threat.”

What do I do if you come across a clip?

The pavement Apazim can be very dangerous to car drivers. Try not to drive over a clip if possible. Instead, slow down and move safely to another lane. Call the number 911 if you encounter one.

When Abazim occurs, Mndot treats them as an emergency. The crews that are granted or cut to fix the pavement are reset.

Mayer said that be patient with workers and other car drivers on the road.
