Road Conditions Facing a New Threat: Flooding Flooding, ice will both be issues for motorists. This advisory is for District 3, which includes Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson, Todd, and Warren Counties, although extreme caution is advised for travelers in most areas of Kentucky today By: Wes Watt, Public Information Officer Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, District 3 Bowling Green, Ky. (Feb. 21, 2015) -- District 3 motorists need to use extreme caution if they have to be out traveling today. Rising temperatures and heavy rain have created severe flooding across the district. Roads that still had some snow coverage can be very slick and provide little traction to drivers. All roads in the district are subject to flooding and that includes Interstate 65. There are spots throughout I-65 that have severe flooding. Motorists traveling at highway speeds could run into a flooded area quickly. This creates a hazardous situation. Motorists are advised to significantly slow down and use the right lane on I-65. Motorists are advised to slow down on all other roads as well and navigate as best they can if they have to be out. Crews are doing what they can to combat the flooding, but the options are limited. Flooding is expected to get worse as the day goes on. For more roadway information motorists can check the District Three Twitter account at KYTCDISTRICT3 as well as the district Facebook Page at KYTCDISTRICT3. Kentucky 511 will have road conditions, crashes, traffic and other delays listed from across the state on the website at 511.ky.gov, as well as the KY511 smartphone app. People can also keep track of what areas are being treated here: http://511.ky.gov/winteractivities/main.jsf This story was posted on 2015-02-21 06:47:54
