Road Crews in District 8 working around the clock Put yourself in emergency mode is the advice - KYTC District 8 is responsible for maintaining state highways in Adair, Casey, Clinton, Cumberland, Lincoln, McCreary, Pulaski, Rockcastle, Russell and Wayne counties. SOMERSET, Ky. - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 crews ae prepared for another round of winter weather. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecast 4 to 6 inches of snow starting Friday and continuing into Saturday. Crews from all counties within District 8 will report for duty early Friday. Teams will operate in 12-hours shifts, working around the clock to plow and treat roadways throughout the storm. KYTC's mission is to keep traffic moving in a safe manner with an emphasis on maintaining mobility along critical corridors and priority routes. KYTC uses a priority system based on the amount and nature of traffic within each individual county. Priority A routes include major through routes and are those most heavily traveled. Priority B routes include other important, but lesser traveled, state routes. Other roads fall into Priority C. The Cabinet's snow and ice information website, http://snowky.ky.gov, provides details about priority routes, helpful winter weather tips, fact sheets and videos on salt application and snow removal. Motorists are advised to exercise caution, reduce speeds, and allow extra travel time if traveling during winter weather. Remember to provide plenty of room for snowplows and other equipment. Stay informed of road conditions by visiting go.ky.gov or following KYTC District 8 on social media. Be prepared: The following measures will help keep motorists safe and prepared: Put yourself in emergency mode Pay attention to weather advisories. Weather will impact your commute on some level Travel only as necessary during major snow events. It's better to be stuck at home than to be stuck on the road Maintain a safe distance from snowplows and other heavy highway equipment Do not pass snowplows on the shoulder Allow time for a slower commute Winterize vehicles Supply vehicles with blankets, flash light and an emergency supply kit Know before you go. Visit goky.ky.gov and download the free Waze app to check traffic conditions before you travel.
