Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 highway crews continue to clear icy roadways ahead of second wave of precipitation expected to bring more ice and heavy snowfall to the area later today.
Roadways across the district remain partly to mostly covered and slick. While crews have remained focused primarily on priority A snow routes- which include interstates, parkways, U.S. highways, and some other 4-lane routes, some crews are beginning to treat priority B routes. For a complete county-by-county snow and ice priority list please go to: https://transportation.ky.gov/Maintenance/Pages/Snow-and-Ice-Maps.aspx.
Crews will continue to plow and treat roadways throughout the day to get them in the best shape possible before heavier precipitation arrives later today.
Motorists strongly advised to avoid travel if possible.
