6500 tons of salt were spread onto roadways earlier this week, and there's still a lot of salt residue left on the roads. That means pre-treating the roads with brine isn't necessary.
2400 miles of state-maintained highways will be cleared in the Louisville area. 166 trucks will salt and plow the roadways.

Motorists should be careful around plows and salt trucks -- they travel at a slower speed, and snow plows can cause visibility problems.
Other tips for staying safe -- carry a cell phone, keep your gas tank at least two-thirds full to prevent fuel line freezing, and prepare for lengthy delays on the roadway. Also, carry jumper cables, reflectors, ice scraper, blankets, food, and a first aid kit.
