Road work to close U.S 60 in Marion

Tuesday will see the closing of West Gum Street (U.S. 60 West) between Blackburn and Yandell streets in Marion beginning at 6 a.m. The closure will be preceded by prep work on Friday and Monday along the same stretch and will require lane restrictions.

This planned closure, just east of Crittenden County High School and Crittenden Hospital, is to allow a cross drain replacement and improvements to the Yandell Street intersection with Gum Street. The work is expected to be completed by 3 p.m., Tuesday.

During prep work and construction, motorists may take a self-detour via Ky. 91 to Ky. 981 (Old Salem Road).
