Message About Kentucky Roads From Transportation

Traffic ADVISORY

As river levels continue to drop, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineers believe a number of key transportation connections will reopen over the next 48 hours or so. Some may reopen in time for the Monday morning commute.

Based on the latest river gauge readings and the river stage forecast, engineers anticipate being able to open KY 365 at the Crittenden-Union County Line around 8:00 a.m., Sunday morning. This is dependent on floodwaters dropping sufficiently to allow the approach to the KY 365 Tradewater River Bridge at the edge of Sturgis to be inspected for erosion damage.

Red Cross Flood Relief

Chadwick Benefield — Wed, 27 Apr 2011 14:44:13 +0000

Here in the tri-state, we are staring down flooding levels not seen since 1997. And, as rain and storms continue, the problems continue to get worse. This morning, I had the chance to chat with my friend, Malissa Troutman with the American Red Cross, about how you can GET help if you need it and how you can GIVE help if you are able. Take a listen . . .
