BOWLING GREEN, KY (TUE 16 Jan 2018) - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 crews enter their fifth straight day of battling a winter weather event. A winter system moved in overnight dumping several inches of snow in most areas across the district creating covered roads and slick conditions. Most main routes are covered or partially covered with snow. Crews are working on the main routes and will work their way down to the B and C routes as time progresses. Since the main routes are at least partially covered, more rural routes can be expected to be in worse shape.



The temperatures are around 15 degrees and dropping across the district. The frigid temps will make treating the roads very difficult. If any ice forms on the roadway the frigid temperatures will make our salt treatment ineffective unless the sun comes out to heat up the roadway. The crews are able to plow a lot of the snow off the roadway, however, it takes time to do so. We ask for folks to be patient especially those who live on more rural routes. The snow & ice route designations by county can be found at Snowky.ky.gov. Motorists that have to be out in these conditions need to use extreme caution and not crowd the snow plows. Leave plenty of space between vehicles and slow down.

Folks are encouraged to follow the District 3 social media accounts on Twitter @kytcdistrict3 and Facebook @kytcdistrict3. State-wide information and real-time traffic information is available at GoKY.ky.gov.
