Westbound lanes open; eastbound lanes closed
FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. – Westbound lanes of Interstate 64 in Bath County have reopened and crews are working to reopen an eastbound detour following early-morning accidents that closed the interstate highway near Owingsville.
As of 9 a.m., eastbound I-64 remains closed at the 122 mile marker as emergency crews continue to work the accident scene. Westbound I-64 is open.
A detour through Owingsville will reopen after a minor accident is cleared on US 60, which could be within the hour. Once open, all eastbound I-64 traffic will be detoured:
- At Exit 121, take KY 36 west to US 60 east, and re-enter I-64 east at Exit 123
Motorists should use extreme caution along the interstate and state routes due to potentially high traffic volumes in the Owingsville area.
The interstate closure and detour could remain in effect for several hours. Local travelers may consider rerouting north and south of the Bath County area to reach their destinations or change travel plans today.
