Track the gritters

The salting routes are shown as a blue line on the map. You can also see our fleet of vehicles in their current location as they travel around the county on the map below.

We have 51 routes supported by 55 salt spreading vehicles with snow ploughs plus 2 mini-spreaders to treat weak bridges and roads. 

Look out for our named gritters on the map.

Essex is separated into five different weather domains, which helps us to target our gritters depending on local forecasted road surface temperatures and conditions.
