Current road conditions

FLEMINSBURG - At 11 a.m., Dec. 20, road conditions in Kentucky Department of Highways District 9's northeast Kentucky counties were mostly classified as “wet pavement” but clear with spotty slush in some areas. District road crews were spot treating at culverts, bridges, hilltop ridges and cold spots. Temperatures ranged from 30 to 32 degrees.
Crews were applying a final salt application in those spots and expecting to close maintenance facilities at noon. However, district staff will continue to monitor weather conditions as a precaution.
Motorists should continue to drive carefully, reduce speeds on wet roadways, give themselves plenty of time to reach destinations and leave extra space between other vehicles.
