Transportation crews treating, patrolling roadways

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. - Transportation Cabinet crews in several northeast Kentucky counties are treating and patrolling roadways as light snow moves through the region.
Salt truck crews are out in Mason, Fleming, Lewis, Rowan, Bath and Carter counties in Department of Highways District 9. In neighboring District 7, crews are spot-treating in Scott and Bourbon counties until midnight.
National Weather Service forecasts call for bitter cold and snowy weather through Thursday. Highway crews will monitor road conditions and treat as necessary. Motorists should watch for slick spots, and remain aware that bridges and overpasses often freeze first.
Road and weather conditions for major highways across Kentucky are available online at 511.ky.gov or by dialing 511. Kentucky's Snow and Ice Treatment Map may be viewed online at http://kytcgis.ky.gov/snow_ice/. The map shows highway crew activity in each county.
