March 5, 2021

LEXINGTON, Ky. (March 5, 2021) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that this advisory is an update for high water and slides. Openings and closures can occur at different times for routes. Water rises and recedes for areas depending on factors including terrain, road location and the amount of rain received. Determining the depth of water over roadways is challenging. The following is the most accurate information available at the time this advisory was sent.

For Wednesday, March 5 as of 7:00 a.m.

Closures/Openings:

Anderson County

  • Tyrone Pike/KY 1510 – closed on one side at milepoint 0.431 due to water over the roadway (this location is near Cedar Brook Bridge).

  • Union City Road/KY 1986 MP 1.5
