MADISONVILLE, Ky. (January 20, 2026) – With the National Weather Service (NWS) predicting the possibility of winter weather across western Kentucky this weekend, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 2 plans to begin the process of pretreating state highways today, Tuesday, January 20, 2026.
District 2 snow and ice crews will begin applying a salt brine mixture to roadways around lunchtime, starting with C-Routes and progressing up the priority list to primary A-Routes by the end of the week.
Motorists are urged to use caution when snow and ice crews are present, as these vehicles will be moving slowly during the application process.
There are more than 3,278 miles of state highways within District 2’s 11-county region.
