An excavator prepares a pile of road salt for more to be dumped in the area for storage at the Logistec New London Terminal on Monday, Jan. 22, 2018. The Gold Star Bridge is in the background.
The incoming 40,000 metric tons of road salt from Egypt was being unloaded from the bulk carrier Erasmus, registered in the Marshall Islands, at the Adm. Harold E. Shear State Pier in New London.
The Erasmus is the first of three vessels scheduled in 2018 to come to port to resupply the road salt. 100,000 tons of road salt has been used so far this winter.
