KYTC crews treating roadsides for noxious weeds From Naitore Djigbenou/Allen Blair Frankfort, KY - As weather improves, more Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) highway crews will be out working to control noxious weeds along state-maintained roadways - a task essential to protecting roadway infrastructure and maintaining safety for motorists. Motorists should watch for slower-moving spray trucks and other equipment on highways. In addition, Kentuckians who are treating noxious weeds on private property adjacent to state-owned rights of way may request highway crews to treat select invasive plants. KYTC is directed to control the following invasive plants and noxious weeds in accordance with KRS 176.051 and 603 KAR 3:100:
Noxious weeds like Spotted Knapweed and Canada Thistle often invade and destroy the roadside turf grass, leaving these areas vulnerable to erosion. Aggressive invasive species like Kudzu can smother native plants through rapid reproduction and long-term persistence. Others like Amur Honeysuckle (a favorite of white-tail deer), if left to mature, can grow over 20 feet tall and wide, reducing roadway visibility. Kentuckians who want to request weed treatment must submit a written application to their local KYTC highway district office. To request an application, please contact the appropriate district highway office. Contact information may be found on the district web pages listed here. Motorists are reminded to use extra caution when crews spraying for weeds are out on the roadways. This story was posted on 2024-03-21 13:45:19
