Lyon County highway may open soon

Ky. 93 south of Eddyville should be reopen this weekend.

Efforts to rebuild a section of the highway in Lyon County damaged by a landslide last month are on track to allow the roadway to be reopened perhaps by tomorrow.

Reopening of the roadway will be greatly welcomed by tourist-related businesses nearby. The highway serves a number of resorts and marinas along Lake Barkley through southern Lyon County. The detour required by the closure of Ky. 93 added about 12 miles to a trip between Eddyville and Eddy Creek.
