DES MOINES, IOWA (AP) --  

Iowa transportation officials will test some new snow plows this winter.

The Iowa Department of Transportation says the plows can clear snow and ice from two lanes of traffic with just one pass, which means less time for snow removal.

Three plows were recently delivered and will be used in pilot projects in Des Moines, Waterloo and Sioux City.

The department will hold a demonstration during a training exercise on Wednesday in the Des Moines suburb of Grimes.
