What are the Roads Like in Owensboro and Evansville + Road Condition Resources
This morning, we are all wondering how bad the roads are. So, I asked some DJs around the office who drive in at 5 a.m.
The Rob, 1061 KISS FM in Evansville:
The roads are much better than yesterday but proceed with great caution.
Brett, WBKR in Owensboro
My drive to work with unpleasant and slow
Ryan O'Bryan, 1061 KISS FM in Evansville
Side roads are still pretty messy. 1st Ave and Heidelbach were a little better but not by much.
Currently, the State of Kentucky is in a State of Emergency. Businesses are not required to close but it's best if you stay off the road today.
