KYTC crews pretreat roads in advance of wintry weather By Naitore Djigbenou/Jordan Smith Frankfort, KY - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) crews across the Commonwealth are pretreating roads today in advance of expected snow and freezing rain forecasted in parts of the state beginning Friday evening. "Our crews are proactively treating roads with brine to reduce travel impacts due to anticipated wintry weather," said KYTC Deputy Secretary Paul Looney. "District staff are keeping an eye to changing weather and road conditions and are ready to respond, as necessary, to maintain mobility and safety on state-maintained routes." Pretreatment efforts began in some counties on Thursday. Applying brine, or saltwater, leaves lines of salt crystals on the roadway surface that mix with snow to prevent it from bonding with the pavement. Brine can help plow crews more easily remove snow from roads during the first hours of a winter storm. Motorists should watch for slow-moving spray vehicles and other trucks applying brine to both main and secondary state highways, and avoid following spray trucks too closely. If travel is necessary, motorists are advised to slow down to avoid potentially slick road conditions, especially when approaching bridges that tend to freeze before roadways. Safety is a shared responsibility, especially during inclement weather when road conditions change. KYTC encourages motorists to prepare for winter and remain safe by following these tips:
You can learn more about snow removal efforts, including maps of snow removal priority routes for each county, by visiting the Transportation Cabinet's online snow page at http://SnowKY.ky.gov. Real-time Kentucky traffic and travel information is available online at http://GoKY.ky.gov or by using the WAZE app. This story was posted on 2019-01-11 16:44:38
