Roadway signs provide guidance to drivers. Unfortunately, they get damaged over time by vehicles or severe weather. ⚠️ If you spot a damaged sign, pothole or other road hazards, report it at @kystatepolice @LMPD @TRIMARCTraffic @IMoveKY @ShermanRenewal

Repair & reinforcement work on the Singing Bridge in Frankfort is finished! Contractors fixed damage done to the bridge during a crash. Additionally, work to reinforce truss members with new steel was done. Because of this, the Bridge's weight limit has been increased to 9-tons.

We would like to welcome the newest honorary members of our @KYTC team. The Goose that had been nesting outside our office hatched its babies earlier this week. Kourosh N. snapped this picture of the goslings leaving the nest – safely. We did not have to install a goose crossing.

Some of our D5 @KYTC snowfighting crews will come on duty at midnight to monitor routes & treat them as needed. Precip ends early, but temps are going to plummet to the teens. So any moisture remaining on the roadway will freeze. Drivers please reduce your speed! #kywx

With all of the rain we've had today, debris along the interstates is clogging some drains. Our crews are working quickly to get them cleared so water can flow away from the roadway, especially before the temps drop below freezing. #kywx
