Motorists are reminded if they must drive Friday night and Saturday morning to use caution. Low temperatures could cause re-freezing on previously treated roadways so drivers will need to remain alert.
Crews from the City and contractors continue to treat roads per the City’s snow plan after the winter storm that brought a mix of freezing rain, sleet and snow to Lexington. Main roads are in good condition but neighborhood roads could remain with partial snow or slush coverage.
Between 5 a.m. and 3 p.m. today, the Lexington Police Department responded to the following:
- Injury collisions: 2
- Non-injury collisions: 5
- Motorist assists: 4
- Traffic hazards: 1
- Downed wires: 2
If your waste collection day was missed due to the most recent storm, pick-up will resume on your regular collection day next week. For example, carts that were not picked up Thursday, Feb. 3 will be serviced Thursday, Feb. 10. Crews will collect overflow bags. Make sure the bags are securely tied. Set them near, but not against, your green cart for collection.
