Ice melts faster with salt because the sald makes the water have to get colder in order to freeze. THis is why towns that often have snow on the road put salt in the areas where it snows the most.

Water freezes at 30 degrees F or 0 degrees C.
The application of salt usually raises this freezing point a few degrees, but of course the real answer to your question depends on the ambient temperature of the air around the ice. If the area where the ice is is at -10 degrees, well, the salt isn't going to help much. If, on the other hand, the temperature is near freezing, then the salt should help it melt a bit faster.
