State highway officials say U.S. 60 near Sullivan will remain closed for at least four or five more days as floodwaters from the Tradewater River slowly recede.Keith Todd, spokesperson for the Department of Highways, said that once water is off the road, crews will need about a day to inspect the highway and bridge and to make repairs.
The Ohio River is forecast to be at less than 50 feet at Shawneetown by Friday morning, which should relieve some of the flooding from the Tradewater River.
About 2,000 vehicles use the section of U.S. 60 at the Crittenden and Union County Line each day. This photograph was taken this morning overlooking the bridge at the county line just south of Sullivan. Todd took the photo for the highway department.
