FRANKFORT, KY — Kentucky Transportation Secretary Jim Gray has lifted restrictions on some commercial drivers in an effort to resolve distribution issues caused by severe winter weather. 

In a Friday release, Gray says transportation delays have "contributed to a tightening supply of livestock feed, particularly poultry feed."

He says live poultry has been delayed as well. 

On Friday, Gray signed an official order temporarily relieving commercial drivers from drive-time and weigh-station restrictions, if they are transporting feed and live poultry. 

The order is effective through 12:01 a.m. March 2, the release explains.
