Both eastbound and westbound lanes of I-64 are open from Charleston to Huntington, but icy and slick conditions remain. Drivers should use caution. I-64 still reported blocked both eastbound and westbound in Institute-Cross Lanes area, according to Kanawha Metro 911 as of 11:50 p.m. Saturday night. Drivers are urged to avoid the area. Conditions are still hazardous on roadways in Eyewitness News viewing area. Use caution when driving. Most of the snow has moved to the east of the Charleston-Huntington area and the region should only receive flurries through Sunday morning, according to Eyewitness News Meteorologist Brandon Stover. However, temperatures will be well below freezing and cause any moisture on roadways to freeze and conditions to remain hazardous. Winter weather created hazardous driving conditions along the Charleston-Huntington corridor Saturday night. Nine crashes were reported between Barboursville and Milton. Kanawha County Metro 911 reported multiple crashes between Cross Lanes and Institute. Drivers were urged to avoid the area. Vehicles were reported stuck on highway and could not move. In Putnam County, dispatchers said Interstate 64 was briefly shut down between the Teays Valley and Hurricane exits, but has since reopened. Extreme caution is urged when driving throughout the region. Drivers should watch for black ice. Stay tuned to Eyewitness News for further updates. MORE NEWS FROM EYEWITNESS NEWS
