State “snow fighter” highway crews are equipped, ready and waiting for winter in Kentucky. While supplies and staff are equipped, drivers are reminded to join the effort to keep roadways safe. To help, high school students from across Kentucky participated in the first statewide “Paint the Plows” program to elevate not only the look of select state trucks, but the message of safe driving behavior.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) crews are restocked with:
- Over 1 million gallons of salt brine
- 1 million gallons of calcium chloride
- 340,000 tons of salt
More than 1,400 plow trucks are on deck and more than 2,000 staff and crew members are trained and prepped to keep travelers moving. Visit snowky.ky.gov for snow and ice resources, like priority route maps, tips and highway district updates.
