Main Street getting asphalt surface
Main Street in downtown Marion will be limited to one lane on Thursday while a contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet repaves a section of the roadway, which has been in poor repair lately.
Starting around 10am Thursday traffic will be restricted to one lane on Main Street between the US 641 intersection at Gum Street extending northward to about Depot Street.
The work should take about three hours.

Detour is blocked at Frances
The roadway is now re-opened.

Both lanes are blocked and traffic is backed up about one mile. State officials say it could be two hours, or close to 2pm, before it the road is cleared.
