Suffield has a new salt shed to make winter roads more bearable this year

- Michael Indriolo

Suffield’s first-ever road salt shed, completed last week on state Route 43, will make the township more self-sufficient when it comes to clearing ice and snow this year.

The shed, which holds up to two and a half years’ worth of salt, will allow the township to stockpile its own road salt to supplement supplies from the state. It will come in handy during winter storms when salt runs short, said Suffield Road Supervisor David “Pete” Einloth.
