With snow moving out of the area, City crews continue to make progress on area roads. Air and pavement temperatures have made salt applications effective.
“Thanks to so many of our residents who helped us by staying off the roads,” Mayor Linda Gorton said. “Our accident count has been low even though roads have been slick. That’s because those who could stay home did so.”
Between 6 – 11 a.m., the Lexington Police Dept. has responded to one non-injury collision and one call for a tree down.
Motorists are reminded to not call 911 for road conditions. Residents can view local traffic at major intersections in real-time through the city’s traffic cameras at lexingtonky.gov/traffic. The public can get travel information for the state at snowky.ky.gov.
