Transportation crews plowing, treating roadways
FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. - Transportation Cabinet crews in northeast Kentucky are plowing snow from roadways this morning after an overnight storm dumped several inches of snow across the region.
Plows and salt truck crews are out in Bath, Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Fleming, Greenup, Lewis, Mason, Nicholas and Rowan counties in Department of Highways District 9, and in neighboring districts.
As of 6 a.m., all roadways were open, but mostly snow covered with lanes and other markings obscured as crews battle blowing and drifting snow.
National Weather Service forecasts call for bitter cold temperatures today, Wednesday, with a chance of more snow. Highway crews will continue to treat roadways as long as necessary. Motorists should consider all roads slick and hazardous. If you travel, please ensure plenty of time to reach your destination, leave a “space cushion” between vehicles, and remain aware that bridges and overpasses often freeze first.
Motorists may check road conditions throughout the state by calling 511 or logging onto the 511 website at http://511.ky.gov.
An up-to-date map showing snow removal activities statewide is available online at http://kytcgis.ky.gov/snow_ice/. The map shows highway crew activity in each county.
