While road crews continue their efforts across southwestern Kentucky, common sense needs to come into the minds of drivers — as road conditions on secondary paths is dicey, at best.
However, according to David Bryant, of Trigg County Emergency Management, there are some safe paths.
Soft flurries continue in Trigg and Christian counties, as well, and in several places, Bryant said the second lane is “bad in several spots.”
Furthermore in Trigg County, Sheriff Aaron Acree said they, too, are seeing main roads being cleared, but reduced to just one lane open, and that secondary roads are icy and will remain icy for the foreseeable future. Temperatures, he said, must rise before they can be effectively treated.
He recommends motorists use caution to travel, be mindful of conditions and to remain indoors if possible. Deputies are patrolling rural parts of the county, and as of yet they have not worked a major collision because few motorists are on the roadway.
In Christian County, Emergency Management Director Randy Graham said the roads remain slick and hazardous throughout, and that it is recommended to drive slow and give one’s self extra time to arrive at a destination.
He said the heavily-traveled roads are “definitely in somewhat better shape” than secondary roadways, meaning Eagle Way, Fort Campbell Boulevard and Breathitt are in fair condition.
