Winter Weather possibility has State Road crews preparing roads in Webster and other counties


Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews in the 11 Counties of District 2 will be out pre-treating roadways through the day today.
Motorists are asked to be alert for slow moving trucks as crews go about their work preparing highways for winter precipitation.
Brine produced by running water through salt is sprayed on road surfaces where it dries into a fine powder.  The salt powder is then available to be activated during the early hours of a winter weather event.  In addition to providing safer driving conditions when precipitation starts, the fine powder of salt helps keep snow from bonding to the pavement surface making it easier to plow away as it accumulates.
