Travel, KYTC District 3: Heavy snowfall, underlying ice problems

Snow plows will have a hard time battling the ice layer, but salting operations should help. Motorists still need to avoid unnecessary travel as the roadways are still very treacherous.
District 3 Road Conditions 5 am Update (Serving Allen, Barren, Butler, Edmonson, Logan, Metcalfe, Monroe, Simpson, Todd, Warren Counties)

BOWLING GREEN, KY (5:16amCT, Sat 23 Jan 2016) -- For the second straight day Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 road crews worked through the night to clear roads following a harsh winter storm leaving most of the District covered in nearly double digit snowfall. Crews are mainly focused on priority A routes, which include roads like Interstate 65, Natcher Parkway and US routes. Even after being worked on throughout the day yesterday and all last night, those roads are still very hazardous. A lot of snow has been removed from the roadways, but a layer of ice remains.



Snow plows will have a hard time battling the ice layer, but salting operations should help. Motorists still need to avoid unnecessary travel as the roadways are still very treacherous. It will still be a while before crews can get to Priority B and C routes. Temperatures are expected to remain below freezing today with very little sunshine. But Sunday looks like it could be a very helpful day in melting the snow & ice on the roadway.

There are some great KYTC resources and tools available to keep folks informed about road conditions. The District 3 Facebook and Twitter account will be updated regularly with the most up-to-date information. The links to some resources are listed below.
