Slick highways

Department of Highways District 9 update as of 6 a.m...

Storm began as rain/sleet mix across northeast Kentucky about 12:30 to 1 a.m. this morning. All county crews and contractors have been out with snow plows and salt trucks overnight, and expect to remain out through the day.

Roads are partly- to mostly-covered with snow and icy slush mix, and are considered slick and hazardous. Crews continue to plow and treat priority routes. Conditions range from mostly snow in northern counties - Mason, Fleming, Greenup, Lewis and Boyd (Boyd County reported 3-4 inches of snow, and still snowing) - to a mix of sleet on top of 2-3 inches of snow in more southern counties of the district - Elliott, Rowan, Bath, etc.

Specifically, Interstate 64 has been treated but is again mostly-covered in Bath, Rowan, Carter and Boyd counties. Crews are continuing to plow and salt the roadway, but it is considered slick and hazardous.

No closures or significant roadway hazards have been reported to the highway department at this time.
