Keeping this in mind, a new heating system powered by solar energy will be used by the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and will be installed by Pave Guard Technologies, a Kansas City firm. Scheduled to be first installed on two bridges along the Missouri Highway 10 at a cost of $183,000, the system uses the concept of a radiant floor heating with the use of solar energy to save costs. This system will also help generate energy during dry seasons that will be used to power up streetlights. <\/p>\n<p>The system eliminates the use of corrosive clearing materials to clean the pavements, hence increasing the bridges life span. The system is activated automatically at 38 degrees Fahrenheit and a warm mixture is circulated in the tubing. The rehabilitation work will be carried out on these bridges this spring to keep these bridges free of ice this following winter season.<\/p>\n<p>[<a href=\"http:\/\/suntrib.com\/201001077834\/news\/community-news\/modot-to-use-new-system-to-keep-bridge-decks-clear.html\">Sun Trib<\/a>]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Crossing a bridge and getting to the other side sure is difficult during snow and rain.
