PADUCAH, Ky. (KFVS) - Drivers in the counties in Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 1 can expect busy routes in some areas as crews are removing downed trees from along the roadway.

A combination of flash flooding and high winds has resulted in downed trees that crews cut-up and pushed to the sides of the road.

They are now attempting to remove trees and limbs from the right-of-way.

The work will continue for this week, possibly into next week for some counties.

Travelers are asked to be cautious and alert for crews out on the roadways.
