Warsaw, IN – Kosciusko County officials have elevated the county’s travel status to Advisory (Yellow), the lowest level of Indiana’s local travel advisory system. The change, announced Friday morning, comes amid reports of hazardous roadway conditions affecting travel throughout the area.
According to the Kosciusko County Emergency Management Agency, the advisory urges residents to exercise caution while driving and to avoid unnecessary travel when possible. Local law enforcement and emergency management teams continue to monitor road conditions closely as weather and surface issues create challenges for commuters.
Under Indiana Code 10-14-3-29.5, an Advisory means routine travel or activities may be restricted in some areas due to unsafe or deteriorating road conditions. Residents are encouraged to remain alert, allow extra travel time, and stay updated through official county communication channels.
The Sheriff’s Office reminded drivers that even minor roadway hazards—such as patchy ice, flooding, or visibility issues—can cause significant safety risks, especially in rural or less-maintained sections of the county.
Officials have not issued a timeline for lifting the advisory but said updates will be provided as conditions improve.
