Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews will begin treating for noxious and nuisance weeds throughout the state beginning in April. Use extra caution when passing crews spraying for weeds.
The treatments aid in controlling the spread of targeted weeds along state highway rights-of-way to improve driver safety and ensure efficient maintenance operations.

Property owners actively treating noxious weeds on private property may request the eradication of nuisance weeds found on the adjacent state-owned right of way.

Our hearts are still with the people of North Carolina as they continue to build back stronger in the wake of Hurricane Helene. In 2024, more than 300 Kentucky transportation crews and engineers deployed to serve alongside the North Carolina Department of Transportation to rebuild roads and restore access in flood-ravaged communities. It was an honor of a lifetime and will never forget the warmth we received. Join us as we reflect on what we got to put our hands to during our time there that demonstrates that we are truly stronger together. Thanks to everyone who served! šŸš› #TeamKentucky

Never fear; the Snowfighters are here! šŸ’„ šŸ’Ŗ Doug from Clay County advises to take your time on the road and be mindful of other drivers! #kywx
