Highway crews assessing damage

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. – Several state highways are closed in northeast Kentucky this morning as Kentucky Department of Highways District 9 crews continue to respond to overnight storm damage.

Crews are clearing roadways of debris where possible as well as assessing damage to roads, bridges and culverts.

As of 9:30 a.m., the following closures have been reported:

· KY 57 at the Fleming-Lewis county line between Flemingsburg and Tollesboro. This route, which serves as a connection to the AA Highway, is closed until further notice.

· KY 59 at the Carter-Lewis county line in the Grassy Fork area; and the intersection of KY 59 and KY 344 in the Kinniconick area. Roadway damage has been reported.

In addition, several areas are experiencing high water – KY 3302 in Fleming County; various roads in the Olive Hill and Grahn areas of Carter County; KY 989 near the AA Highway; various routes in Elliott, Rowan and Lewis counties, and elsewhere. Mud slides and road damage are also being reported.

Motorists are advised to watch for high water signs, particularly in low-lying areas, as well as possible debris in the roadway. Motorists should never drive around barricades or through high water, and should heed all warning signs.

As storm response continues today, Highway District 9 crews will continue assessing damage and work to make sure any closed roadways are re-opened as safely and as quickly as possible for the traveling public.
