U.S. 60 closed in Livingston today for 2 hours

Jackson Purchase Energy plans to close U.S. 60 in Livingston County today from approximately noon until about 2:00 p.m.

U.S. 60 will be closed near the 17 mile marker at Dyer Hill Mine Road between Burna and Smithland to allow Jackson Purchase Energy to string new line through an area heavily damaged by the ice storm. 

This closure is near the Dyer Hill Curve and the entrance to Three Rivers Rock Quarry.

Motorists should be aware of this two-hour closure and make advanced alternate travel plans.
