Traffic Alert: Somerset KYTC District 8 at 3:44pmCT Afternoon Storm Update, March 5: Crews continue fighting the latest round of winter weather. Roads conditions remain slick and hazardous. KY KYTC District 8 Counties are Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Lincoln, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell and Wayne counties. By Amber Hale, Public Affairs Officer Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, District 8, Somerset, KY SOMERSET, KY (5 Mar 2015) – As of 4pmET, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 highway crews continue plowing and treating roadways with salt and calcium chloride. The winter storm that moved into our area Wednesday dropped more than 10 inches of snow in some parts of the district and up to 1/4 inch of ice blanketed the roads prior to the snow accumulation, creating more of a challenge for road crews. As a result, roads across the district became slick and hazardous and at this hour still remain snow covered. Motorist are advised that although some areas of roadways have become clear are wet, a short distance from those areas the road remains covered with snow, slush or ice and markings are obscured. As nighttime falls so will the temperatures causing many areas to quickly refreeze. If traveling, motorists should take it slow, wear seat belts, eliminate distractions behind the wheel, and use caution on bridges, exit ramps and shaded valleys as those areas are often more prone to icing. KYTC would also like to remind motorist that the following roads have been closed due to high water and if floodwaters are blocking roads, they’re also blocking plows:
