(LEX 18) — Multiple car accidents have led to several closures throughout the day on Interstate 64 between Lexington and Frankfort.
LEX 18 crews have witnessed multiple accidents and stranded vehicles on the side of I-64 throughout the day.
Challenging day out there for road crews. Just talked with reps from KYTC who tell me I-64 is open in both directions in Fayette, Scott, Franklin, and Woodford Counties, but conditions are really tough. Strong wind keeps blowing snow drifts across areas they've plowed. pic.twitter.com/Pl7eyVxG1c

Officials say you should stay home but if you have to travel, check your route on goky.ky.gov.
Do not call 911 for road updates, use that line for emergencies only.
