Northern company's 'Plowbrush' a new way to tackle winter roads

The white stuff has melted from city streets, but an innovative northern Ontario company is ready to help clear snow in a new way when winter returns.

“When the plow operator wants to use it to sweep, they flip a switch and it puts down pressure on the road and it sweeps,” Chaput said, adding that each brush lasts approximately 1,200 kilometres and is easily switched out for a fresh one. Last month, they received a $728,433 grant from the province as part of a broader funding announcement which saw $11 million injected into Greater Sudbury’s economy.
