Flash flooding overnight has created hazardous travel conditions in Union County.
U.S. 60 is now closed on the northern end of Union County near the Henderson County Line due to water over the road. This is between Waverly and Corydon. Water is also over Ky. 359 along the normal detour for this section.
U.S. 60 is also closed at the south end of Union County at the Crittenden County Line, leaving just two routes open into and out of Union County. They are Ky. 56 West to the Shawneetown Bridge and Ky. 56 East to U.S. 41-A.
Almost 70 Counties in Kentucky, including Union and Crittenden, have declared a state of emergency due to widespread flooding. Gov. Steve Beshear has also issued a statewide emergency declaration.
