Kentucky Transportation District 3 crews continue to work on state roads after lower temperatures caused them to refreeze.
Governor Andy Beshear said the winter weather storm’s exit yesterday and sunlight have helped crews and “activated deicing agents” along primary routes. More progress on primary and secondary routes are expected today, according to Beshear’s Tuesday morning winter storm update.
“The hard work of our crews, boosted by sunshine, is helping get our interstates and parkways in better shape in light of overnight refreezing of moisture on the road,” said Transportation Cabinet Secretary Jim Gray, who is a Glasgow native. “Do not abandon caution if you see bare pavement, as icy patches may still exist.”
“We expect to make passes on more secondary routes today, but it will take time to work through the snowpack and thick ice. Fewer cars on the road helps give our crews room to work using heavy equipment so we still ask Kentuckians to avoid travel if they can,” he added.
People are still advised to limit travel, slow down and give plenty as stopping distance between vehicles. People are also are urged to carry an emergency kit of life-saving essentials should they be stranded, according to today’s update.
