LEXINGTON, Ky. (LEX 18) — City of Lexington officials are warning drivers of a potentially challenging Tuesday morning commute due to overnight weather conditions.
Officials say that the wintry mix of freezing rain, sleet, and snow is expected to arrive in central Kentucky late tonight. There may be enough precipitation to create slick roads and black ice.
City workers will report at 8 p.m. tonight to begin pre-treating bridges and roads.
Officials want to remind drivers that bridges, overpasses, sidewalks, and parking lots will freeze before roadways. Drivers are encouraged to drive slowly and increase following distance.
