MUCH. IN ORDER. 753 Now whether they’re causing these problems on the roads, including Kentucky, just like we discussed, right. Therefore, traffic will be diverted from the highway at the cutting in the hill because of the accident, he said. AFTER RECEIVING THIS CLEARANCE THEY WILL BE GOING TEAMS OVER THERE TO CLEAR SOME SNOW AND WLWT NEWS FIVE’S NICOLE APONTE WILL BE LIVE WITH US AT KYLES LANE IN FORT WRIGHT WHERE TRAFFIC WILL BE DIRECTED. NICOLE. MEGAN. GOOD MORNING. Actually, we’ve only just arrived at Kyles Lane. HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME OF THE TRAFFIC ON THE LEFT. We’re at the traffic light stop at the moment, but now the green light is there and we can drive off and see this traffic being diverted from this cut and the hill drop. BUT A LOT OF THESE CARS START STARTING SLOWLY. They had to get out. HERE YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH TRAFFIC THERE IS. A LOT OF THESE PEOPLE ARE TRYING TO TAKE ON WHAT THEY NEED TO BE THERE THIS MORNING, BUT REALLY EVERYONE IS GOING SLOW ON THE STREETS HERE. YOU CAN’T SEE TRAFFIC ONLY WITH THIS. WE ALSO SEE A LOT OF SNOW ON THESE BACK ROADS HERE IN NORTHERN KENTUCKY. THAT REALLY WAS THE PROBLEM THIS MORNING AS WE DRIVE THROUGH BOONE AND KENTON COUNTIES. Of course, all of these counties are under a Level 2 snow emergency, so you just want to make sure we take it slow while you head out. But take another look at that traffic. Traffic is being diverted here. So if you plan to take this path on the hill, there will be an accident here. Traffic will be rerouted here and you’ll just need to plan a little in advance if you’re coming here this morning.
