Ugh, it does sound like you may have to build the area up and try to protect it from road salt. Something like thistle suggested?
Anyone Have a Silver lace Vine?

Yup, I think Thistle has the idea...if you don't want to do a raised bed, what about a wonderful, huge pot of something at the base of the columns?

Each pillar has a large pot (about 5 feet tall) I never have luck with plants overwintering in containers. Should try and post some photos.

That is a LARGE pot! I also can not overwinter in pots unless they get moved indoors. That is not going to happen with a pot that BIG. With big pots I just figure to plant annuals each spring. It is fun to change them up each year for a new look.
