City crews treating roads as snow continues to fall

Lexington is under a winter weather advisory until 10 p.m. today with scattered snow in the forecast. City crews are continuing to treat ranked roads, with an emphasis on neighborhood streets and will work throughout the evening. Motorists are advised to drive with caution as roads could be slippery and visibility limited.

Waste collection is running today, but please allow extra time for your carts to get serviced as trucks are driving with caution.

The plan includes expanded shelter services and free transportation to shelters. For a list of all available shelters and transportation services, as well as other resources, visit uwbg211.org.
