The state Dep[artment of Transportation will begin its annual roadside herbicide spraying program starting June 1 and continuing through into the fall. Since the mid-1970s, the state has been spraying herbicides to control vegetation under guardrails, signs, and roadside barriers. It says the work is needed to improve the visibility of guardrails and to maintain sight lines on curves and intersections. Herbicides, it says, are also used to reduce fire hazards,maintain drainage and control invasive plants. Among the roadsides that will be sprayed are Interstates 84, 91, 95, 384, 395 and 691 “and all other divided highways and secondary roads,” DOT said in a release.
