Minnesota Department of Transportation says clearing winter roads cost $133 million

Last winter was long and harsh, and the Minnesota Department of Transportation (MnDOT) said Wednesday it was pretty expensive, too.

In one of the most severe winters in the past decade, MnDOT spent $133 million to clear roads throughout the state, an increase of 7% over the previous year. With a population of about 5.6 million, that cost Minnesotans about $23.75 each.
