Jeff Skaggs, Transportation Technologist III, KYTC - District 2 Support Section has this report.

Some of our 911 call centers report an increase in calls from the public asking about when specific roads will open.  We are asking the public to not call 911 seeing road opening information.  We encourage the public to go to our state website and look for the “Road Closures Map” on the right.  This map is being updated every few hours.  You may also get updates for the 11 counties of highway district 2 at the Facebook page.   

While we’ve had several sections of highway open Monday and Tuesday, some of our highways are going to be covered by floodwaters for several more days, some even a week or more longer.  Even once floodwaters drop, we are urging motorists to be patient.  Highway crews will need to clear drift and other debris, then check road surfaces, fill areas, and drainage structures for erosion damage.  We have already identified several locations where some repair work will be required to assure the safety of the driving public.

We continue to ask motorists to avoid traveling on water covered highways.   We have had numerous reports of vehicles being floated off roadways by attempting to cross through floodwaters.  We do not want anyone to show up as a number on the daily highway fatality report.
