Road conditions in Johnson County have deteriorated to the point that travel is being restricted to emergency workers only.

The travel warning was out in place about 7:30 p.m. on Saturday. Earlier, the county was on a travel watch only.

The current level, which is referred to as “red” or a travel warning, means that travel can be restricted to emergency workers only.

The public is asked to refrain from all travel.

Local decisions about travel advisories, watches and warnings are made by the county commissions and the county emergency management director.
