Overview
- Burbach reports about 40 tonnes of salt remaining with final shipments on January 7 and 8, and officials say no further deliveries are expected from Friday.
- The municipality will focus salting on steep roads, school access and industrial areas, warning that reduced coverage could raise accident risk for drivers and pedestrians.
- Welver’s depot received a delayed 12‑tonne order after already spreading roughly 20 tonnes, and crews are working to a strict priority list using hand teams and small machines.
- Dortmund, Münster and Düsseldorf report stable stocks or rapid reorder options, including Dortmund’s 4,500 Mg pre-season fill with about 1,100 Mg used so far and Düsseldorf’s 3,575 tonnes in storage with 48‑hour resupply contracts.
- Kreis Euskirchen has spread about 700 tonnes since November and has ordered more, underscoring that shortages are localized and linked to supplier focus on silo-served federal roads.
