LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- An ice storm moving through Louisville has crews treating roadways as temperatures drop.
In a release, Metro Public Works said its Snow Team members spent the morning staging for the ice by doing equipment safety checks, loading trucks with salt and heading to the starting point of each driver's route. Salt is being applied to roadways as soon as possible by 56 crews on 111 snow routes, which includes 2,700 miles of two-lane roads.
Drivers in Louisville are being urged to use extreme caution and allow extra time to reach their destinations.
