Transportation crews treating roadways in northeast Kentucky
Motorists should use caution while traveling
FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. — Transportation Cabinet crews throughout northeast Kentucky are treating roadways this morning as snow continues to fall across much of the region.
As of 4:30 a.m., trucks were out plowing roadways and spreading salt in Bath, Boyd, Carter, Fleming, Greenup, Lewis, Mason, Nicholas and Rowan counties in Department of Highways District 9 where up to an inch of snow has partly covered roadways, making them slick. Crews in Elliott County were spot treating roadways.
Crews expect to remain out today, monitoring and treating roadways as necessary. National Weather Service forecasts call for scattered snow showers this morning, and a winter storm warning tonight through Tuesday with 2- to 4-inches of snow and sleet possible.
Wintry weather could make driving conditions hazardous. Motorists should watch for slick spots on roadways, and remain aware that bridges and overpasses can freeze before roadways.
For more information, including snow and ice treatment maps, please visit District 9's web site at http://www.transportation.ky.gov/d9/snow.htm.
Statewide, the latest road and weather conditions are available online at 511.ky.gov or by dialing 511.
