KY motorists advised to avoid unessential travel Friday From Naitore Djigbenou/Chuck Wolfe Frankfort, KY - Although snowfall tapered off across the state early this morning, strong winds and frigid temperatures continue to cause hazardous conditions on the road and Kentuckians are advised to avoid travel today as multiple crashes and closures have been reported on state highways. An active major incident is reported on the northbound lanes of Interstate 71 in Gallatin County north of Glencoe that shut down traffic since early this morning due to jackknifed trucks and crashes. Traffic is being detoured at Exit 62 onto US 127 while partner agencies, including Kentucky State Police and the National Guard, assist stranded motorists. Southbound lanes are open but traffic is moving slowly." "Stay inside and stay off the roads to stay safe," Gov. Andy Beshear said. "The best way to help is not to add another car to the backups. Stay away from I-71 entirely. It is unsafe due to backups and how long you could be stranded." Blowing snow is covering up plowed roads and reduces visibility for drivers on the road. The extreme cold temps are creating slick conditions and crashes have shut down traffic on multiple interstates and highways. "Our crews have been hard at work treating and plowing roads since last night and are doing all they can but these conditions are dangerous and difficult," Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) Secretary Jim Gray said. "While several roads have reopened, thanks to help from partner agencies and towing companies, there are still several closures with the potential for more as the day progresses and drivers venture out." Here is a listing of reported interstate and parkway closures as of NoonET on Friday:
"Do not get on the roads if you don't have to. When traffic backups, it makes it hard for plows and tow trucks to get to where they need to go to open up traffic and treat routes," Secretary Gray said. This story was posted on 2022-12-23 15:13:23
