Frankfort, KY – Snow is falling across parts of Kentucky today, creating slick travel conditions on several major highways and prompting new safety warnings from state police.
According to the Kentucky State Police (KSP), snowfall is visible on multiple Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) interstate cameras Wednesday afternoon, including in Bullitt County along I-65, Carter County on I-64, Madison County along I-75, and Woodford County on I-64. The early-season winter weather is already impacting visibility and road surfaces as temperatures continue to drop.
KSP said drivers should expect changing pavement conditions throughout the day, especially in areas where elevated surfaces freeze faster. “Slow down, increase following distance, and use extra caution on bridges and overpasses,” the agency advised. Troopers noted that even light snowfall can produce hazardous black ice as temperatures fall toward evening.
Transportation officials are monitoring interstate conditions in real time, and salt crews are positioned across affected regions. Snow intensity varies by location, but troopers said drivers traveling between Louisville, Lexington, Ashland, and surrounding counties should be prepared for sudden changes in traction and speed.
KSP also encouraged motorists to check GoKY.ky.gov for updated travel speeds, lane restrictions, and camera feeds before heading out. Additional updates are expected if snowfall increases or if crashes or closures develop on major routes.
Residents across central and eastern Kentucky are urged to allow extra travel time and remain alert for slick patches, especially during the afternoon and evening commute.
