Road salt can mean many things. Some cities/countries use sodium chloride, some use calcium chloride. Anti-caking agents like sodium ferrocyanide are added to prevent clumping.
That said, the weight of a volume of "road salt" be approximated by using using the density of ordinary salt, which is 2.165 grams per cubic centimeter.
After dimensional analysis, you get a rough estimate of 3,650 pounds per cubic yard.

How much does sea water weigh per cubic foot?
The weight of sea water really depends on a number of variables, including the temperature, the amount of salt (salinity) and whatever other foreign items may be present, and the depth, thus the pressure. But to get to the basic answer, seawater, at the surface, on average weighs 1027 kg/m3, or just over 64.1 lbs per cubic foot. ----------- The question is another way of asking for density of salt water. Salt water has greater density than that of fresh water, due to the dissolved salt. Fresh water has a density of 1000 kg/cubic meter vs. an average density of 1027 kg/cubic meter for ocean salt water.
What is the density of salt in grams per cubic cm?
1.28 grams per cubic centimeter
How many cubic feet are in 1000 pounds?
Zero. Because cubic feet and grams measure different things Cubic feet measure capacity and grams measure weight, also they are not even the same measuring system. Cubic feet are imperial measurements and grams are metric measurements.
