Traffic Advisory: High Water Has Receded in Northeast Kentucky

No state highways impacted as of 11 a.m. Sunday

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (11:30 AM, Jan. 2, 2022)  Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews report all high water in Fleming, Nicholas, Mason, Lewis, Carter, and Boyd counties has receded. As of 11 a.m. today, no state highways in northeast Kentucky are impacted by flooding.

As a storm system remains in place over the Commonwealth, crews will continue to monitor weather conditions and work debris removal or storm response as needed. Crews are also monitoring the potential for overnight snow and ice.

In addition, backwater from the rising Ohio River could cause high water in the coming days, especially in Greenup, Lewis, and Mason counties. Motorists should stay alert for potential roadway flooding.
