Roads slick and hazardous in KYTC District 8, Somerset, KY Roads conditions remain slick and hazardous in KY Transportation Cabinet District 8, Somerset, KY - Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Lincoln, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell and Wayne counties By Amber Hale, Public Information Officer Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, District 8, Somerset, KY SOMERSET, KY (Thu 5 Mar 2015) - Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 highway crews continue battling the latest round of winter weather that moved into our area late Wednesday, March 4, 2015. As of 9amET, snow continues to accumulate, with 10 inches being reported in some parts of District 8. Falling rain and sleet prior to the change to snow has created more challenges for our snow fighters. Most of our area has reported that approximately a 1/4 inch of ice blankets the ground beneath the layering snow. As a result, roads across the district remain slick and hazardous. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 8 is responsible for maintaining approximately 5,258 lanes miles throughout Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Lincoln, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell and Wayne counties. When winter precipitation starts to fall, road crews focus on interstates, parkways and other high volume roadways first. Secondary and rural roads will be salted and plowed once the main routes have been cleared. To view the priority network for snow removal, go to http://transportation.ky.gov/Maintenance/Pages/Snow-and-Ice-Priority-Maps.aspx. 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. Road condition updates are available by calling 511 or by logging onto the 511 traffic and travel information website, 511.ky.gov. You can also get traffic information for the District 8 counties at www.facebook.com/KYTCDistrict8 or by following us on Twitter at www.twitter.com/KYTCDistrict8. The cabinet's SAFE Patrol is available to assist motorists whose vehicles become disabled on Kentucky interstates and parkways. For SAFE Patrol assistance, call 511 or toll-free at 1-877-FOR-KYTC (1-877-367-5982) This story was posted on 2015-03-05 09:20:03
