Wayne County drops to Level 1 travel advisory until noon Wednesday
RICHMOND, Ind. — Wayne County is no longer under a Level II Travel Watch, after commissioners downgraded the alert to a Level 1 Travel Advisory on Tuesday.
Matthew Cain, director of Wayne County Emergency Communications and Management, said in an email the Level 2 Essential Travel Permitted Snow Emergency for Wayne County, the city of Richmond and the town of Centerville has been terminated.
The Level 1 Travel Advisory is now in effect until noon Wednesday after weather conditions were found to have improved for traveling and parking on county roads.
Under the advisory, no restrictions on travel or parking are imposed, though motorists are asked to continue driving with extra caution because of the possibility of hazardous conditions such as ice or snow, utility poles or power lines blocking roads and other situations.
Jon Duke, deputy director of emergency management for Wayne County, said it is still encouraged for travelers to plan ahead.
“Allow extra time, extra distance, brake early, keep an emergency supply kit in your vehicle, all the things that normal people do during the winter, we encourage them still to do even under a Level 1,” he said. “It does mean that road conditions are slick and dangerous in some places. They may be good in some others, but they still have the potential to be bad somewhere else.”
Although most main roads in Richmond were cleared of snow and ice, side streets such as South C Street were still covered, making travel hazardous.
All schools across the county remained closed on Tuesday, with several using an E-Learning Day.
Any questions regarding the alert should be directed to the Wayne County Emergency Management Agency at 765-973-9399.
