Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) crews continue to battle a variety of weather-related issues on our highways.At this hour, air temps are moving into the 35 degree range which has helped to lower the opportunity for freezing of road surfaces.Normally, pavement temperatures are 2 to 3 degrees warmer than the ambient air temperature, which helps to activate salt when it is spread on road surfaces. However, due to bitter cold temperatures over the last several days, pavement temperatures have lagged behind the air temperature, in some cases as much as 2 to 3 degrees cooler.We continue to ask everyone to avoid unnecessary travel due to the multiple hazards of ice and spot flooding. Crews are attempting to mark flooded areas with Water Over Road signs. However, crews may not be immediately made aware of areas with standing water.If you are out and encounter flooded areas that are not marked, please take note of the specific location using a mile marker, crossroad, or other landmark, and immediately report it to your local 911 call center so it can be reported to highway personnel for appropriate action.In Ohio County, A routes have some slush, but are much improved from earlier this morning. B's & C's are not as good, but are being plowed at this time. The main concern is, as temperatures again drop below freezing later tonight, ponding water will dilute salt that has been spread and allow the accumulated water to freeze.Temperatures are expected to drop below freezing around 10 p.m. tonight and stay down into Sunday when the projected high is in the 31 degree range. However, as the sun comes out pavement temperatures are expected to rise to about 34 degrees by around 11:00 a.m., assisting road clearing efforts.Please avoid unnecessary travel and use extreme caution if you do get out and about today.
