Piney Fork Road closed

UPDATE: 2:40 p.m. - Roadway is open to one lane of traffic. Flaggers are on site. Both lanes should be restored by 4 p.m.

KY 506/Piney Fork Road is closed near mile point 6.5 in CRITTENDEN County due to downed utility lines.

This is on KY 506 near the Grandview Estates Subdivision a mile or two east of the Marion city limits. 

Phone lines in the area had been reported hanging down in the area overnight.  Sometime this morning a passing truck snagged the lines and pulled down a couple of utility poles.  An AT&T line crew has arrived at the site and is preparing to start repairs.

Passenger vehicles that normally travel KY 506/Piney Fork Road may self-detour via Pleasant Hill Road to KY 120 or via Weldon Road to US 641.   Trucks should follow appropriate state routes.

Estimated duration:  3 hours.
