Subject: Road Conditions

Fire, police, and EMS continue to have delayed response times due to roadway conditions in many parts of the County.

We expect a complete refreeze tonight that will only complicate our responses. We are doing everything we can to expedite response times, but it is still an uphill battle.

Please avoid travel on these roadways.

Athens man arrested for kidnapping after victim was able to escape, call for help

Main roads around Lawrenceburg are passible this morning (Monday, 1/26), but watch for icy spots, especially on bridges. Secondary and back roads are slick. Also, that white stuff piled up along the shoulder is mostly packed ice, so approach with caution and don't be thinking you can simply plow through.

Officials recommend that residents avoid travel if possible. If you must travel, have a snow kit including blanket, water, and snacks.

As of 8:00 AM, LUS reported 276 customers without power, nearly all in the northern 1/3 of Lawrence County. They hope to have service restored to most but probably not all by the end of the day.

Maury County Sheriff's Department are advising residents to please stay off roadways if possible.

We know this is both frustrating and scary, but we’re asking residents to stay home if at all possible. Our deputies, along with utility and road crews, are working as quickly and safely as they can to restore power and clear roadways.

Limiting travel helps keep everyone safe and allows crews to do their jobs more efficiently. Thank you for your patience and cooperation.
