Jenkins Police tell EKB News that four crashes have occurred on Northbound US-23 on Pound Jenkins Mountain over the past three days, and even more in past weeks. That's a troubling statistic for the police department. The roadway gets slick whenever it rains, any kind of moisture or snow or anything. With it being banked the way it is, it makes it kind of difficult for vehicles to negotiate it, especially when we have rain. Any kind of slickness on the roadway, be it ice or rain. Jenkins Police Chief Jim Stevens said two curves in the mile-and-a-half stretch of US-23 between the Virginia border and the exits to downtown Jenkins have been the sights of most of the wrecks on the mountain over the years. They said large trucks filling up with fuel at a nearby truck stop may be spilling minute amounts of fuel as they negotiate the curves, slickening the surface of the roadway over time. Stevens said he hopes something will be done about the stretch of US-23. We're working with the highway department to maybe get some signs up to make a different speed zone or at least cautionary to tell people to slow down. Also the highway department has mentioned there's a type of surface ingredient they can put on here to kind of roughen up the road a little bit to make it more traction-wise. That might help too. He added, however, that drivers can also do their part to stay safe on the highway. I guess really right now the quickest fix and easiest fix would be for people just to slow down under bad conditions just because the speed limit is 55 and it's bad conditions we don't want to wreck. According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, more than 6,300 vehicles travel the stretch of US-23 passing through Jenkins each day. In Jenkins, Chris Anderson, EKB News.
