Rijkswaterstaat carried out the first nationwide salt‑spreading operation of the winter season in the night of December 29–30, 2025. The operation covered 31,622 km of national roads and involved the application of 1,882,571 million kg of salt. The agency’s winter‑road‑management teams monitored road conditions 24/7 with sensors that record temperature, humidity and salt content, allowing them to predict when snow or ice could form. When the system indicated a risk of slippage, crews were ready to treat the entire network within two hours. This first seasonal intervention demonstrates the organization’s commitment to keeping public roads safe during periods of cold weather and high moisture.
