TRAFFIC ALERT: US 641 to Close Monday

DETOUR
Click to enlarge

U.S. 641 just south of the Crittenden-Caldwell County line will be closed for several days to all through traffic beginning Monday, forcing a 10-mile detour for travel between Marion and Fredonia. The closure is for extensive paving for the connections between the old and new U.S. 641 roadways just north of Fredonia in Caldwell County.

Neither local media nor the community had any forewarning of this anticipated closure until about 1pm on Thursday.

A marked detour will be provided for southbound traffic via Ky. 70 at Mott City and Ky. 902 at Dycusburg. Northbound motorists will get on Ky. 902 and Fredonia and take Ky. 70 at Dycusburg to get back onto U.S. 641 at Mott City.

The detour is expected to be in place starting at 8am Monday. The road could be closed all next week.

Once the site just south of Fredonia reopens, there will be a stop sign for southbound traffic. Traffic should then be running on the new U.S. 641 between Marion and Fredonia.

See next week's issue of The Crittenden Press for a projected opening of the new road and further details.

River Road closing in Livingston County

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close a section of Ky. 137 also known as River Road in Livingston County on Monday so a cross drain can be repositioned. 

The closing will be right in front of Birdsville Campground three miles east of the intersection with US 60. 

The work is expected to be completed on Monday with traffic returning to normal by 3:30pm.

Trask, former WMJL station manager, dies

Former WMJL radio station manager Blair Trask died unexpectedly on Thanksgiving Day at a hospital in Indiana.

Trask, 60, is widely credited with having helped to build WMJL from a low-powered, rural Kentucky AM station into a modern broadcasting company. He did everything at the station from on-air broadcasting to engineering, said Brad Dossett, who was at WMJL as programming manager shortly after Trask left in the late 1980s.

When he passed away, Trask was living in Floyds Knob, Ind., where he was broadcast co-owner-operator of WXKU 92.7 and WZZB 1390/99.3 in Seymour and WUME 95.3 and WSEZ 1560 and WKLO 96.9 in Paoli.

Trask was born in Louisville and graduated from Western Kentucky University. Shortly thereafter, he landed a job at the radio station in Marion. Dossett said George Patmor, who was co-owner of WMJL at the time, thought “Trask hung the moon.” 

Dossett said Trask helped design and build the studio at WMJL’s headquarter’s on Old Morganfield Road after the station moved from its previous location in downtown on East Bellville Street.

“He was an electronics guy, but Blair could do a little bit of everything,” Dossett said.

“At a small station like that, you had to. This was before they added the FM frequency. Blair can be credited with making (WMJL) into a real radio station with the programing ideas he brought in the 1980s. He knew radio,” Dossett added.

Trask is survived by his wife, Kelly Oma Anderson; his children, Taurean (Vanessa) Trask, William Trask and Claire Trask; a brother, Everett A. (Becky) Trask IV; sisters, Myra (Bo) Mattingly and Jane (Wayne) Meredith.

A graveside service was held Tuesday, Nov. 27, 2018 at Cave Hill Cemetery in Louisville. Voss Funeral Service in Seymour, Ind., was in charge of arrangements.

New 641 intersections pose possible danger

When the first traffic begins to flow on the new U.S. 641 from Marion to Fredonia in a few days, drivers will need to be vigilant to potential hazards.

As the first new highway in Crittenden County in decades, U.S. 641 blazes a 5.2 mile-trail of unknowns across a landscape that just five years ago was mostly farmland and wooded areas.

Click to Enlarge this map of
the new highway and its
intersections.

There will be new intersections with county roads, untested pavement and regular crossing points for animals like deer that have yet to be identified, as well as unmarked areas of potential flooding in downpours and other unknown risks engineers cannot account for.

State highway officials are asking motorists to be particularly engaged in driving as everyone becomes familiar with the new highway and its crossings at county road intersections. During the construction phase, drivers have largely ignored stop signs at those intersections.

"We have folks who have been crossing without stopping and looking due to the lack of cross traffic," said Keith Todd, a spokesperson for the Department of Highways. "We’ll have standard stop signs up at all of the intersections, if they are not up already. Stop signs mean exactly that, stop."

"If you’ll recall, the first couple of years the U.S. 60 Morganfield Bypass opened there were a couple of fatal crashes due to drivers failing to stop on the cross roads or failing to see oncoming traffic," Todd added.

Consider avoiding traffic jams on I-24

With heavy Thanksgiving Holiday traffic along I-24, local motorists might serve themselves well by avoiding the interstate between the Lyon County scales and Calvert City.

Long delays are expected in both eastbound and westbound lanes.

The traffic jams are on either side of the Tennessee River Bridge as lane restrictions on the bridge are requiring one-lane traffic in both eastbound and westbound directions. On Wednesday, traffic was backed up about five miles in one direction.

Avoid this particular of I-24 if you are in a hurry.

NOTICE: Check your DL before traveling

Kentucky no longer reminds you by mail when your driver's license expires!

With large numbers of travelers expected to take to the skies and roads this holiday season, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is encouraging license holders to check their card’s expiration date to avoid delays at airport security checkpoints and possible citations on the road.

“Driver’s licenses are a common form of identification used for domestic air travel, and checking the expiration date now can save travelers from being grounded during this prime travel time,” said Department of Vehicle Regulation Commissioner Matt Henderson. “A quick check can also ensure motorists are not unknowingly driving with an expired license.”

Prior to air travel, Kentuckians should check the expiration date on their license, permit or personal ID to make sure it is valid for both their departure and return dates. Identity credentials can be renewed up to six months before the listed expiration date by visiting the Circuit Court Clerk office in the cardholder’s county of residence.

Public offices closing for holidays

All city, county and state offices will be closed Thursday and Friday in observance of the Thanksgiving holiday. That includes the senior center, Extension service, animal shelter and convenience center.

The PVA, clerk, sheriff and circuit clerk offices will be open only a half-day Wednesday, closing at noon. However, the judge-executive’s office will be open all day Wednesday.

The public library and federal offices, including the postal service, will be closed only Thanksgiving Day.

The Crittenden Press will be closed Thursday and Friday for Thanksgiving, but the newspaper will be on newsstands as usual next Wednesday.

Winter weather advisory issued for area

UPDATE: 10:15 a.m.
Crittenden County Judge-Executive Perry Newcom said a conference call with weather officials this morning have shed a bit more light on the approaching winter storm, with lighter totals expected for the county compared with earlier reports.

"They have our area in a Winter Weather Advisory and are expecting precipitation to start late this afternoon and run through mid-morning tomorrow," said Newcom. "Snow accumulations of 2-3 inches possible, but more likely 1 inch. Ice/sleet mix of less than 1/10 of an inch is likely for us."

County officials are asking motorists to stay off the roadway as much as possible tonight and tomorrow morning.

"They did say the morning commute would be the most treacherous time for our area and to use extreme caution if traveling that time of day and to give plenty of extra time for travel," Newcom added.

According to the National Weather Service, snow, occasionally mixed with light freezing rain, is expected to develop and spread north across the region this afternoon into this evening. Snowfall totals of 2-3 inches are expected, with isolated higher amounts possible. Light freezing rain will also mix with the snow in some locations. Ice accumulations of up to around a 10th of an inch are expected.

A winter weather advisor will be in effect from 3 p.m today until 6 p.m. Thursday.

US 641 may open in a couple of weeks

The new U.S. 641 that will connect Marion with Fredonia could be open by the end of this month, possibly even before the holiday season arrives, according to the Kentucky Department of Transportation.

“We’re thinking around Thanksgiving,” said DOT spokesman Keith Todd.

When the 2018 construction season started, Nov. 15 was the target date for opening. Weather and other various delays have pushed that project back a couple of weeks.

Paving at the north end of the new Super 2 highway just south of Marion has taken place in the last few days, showing visible progress toward completion of the tie-in with the current highway.
Work is also ramping up at the southern connector just outside of Fredonia.

Bullet on bus investigation is concluded

Crittenden County School District has concluded its investigation regarding how a .22-caliber bullet – found by an elementary student Monday – ended up on a school bus.  

After interviewing several students and watching bus video, school officials said it is impossible to determine how or when the bullet was brought onto the bus.

"We feel  the action did not involve 'sinister intent' based on the information we gathered from video and student interviews," said Supt. Vince Clark. "The take-away from this incident is that we all have a role to play in providing safety and security for our students and community. Parents and family members need to secure all ammunition and weapons in a secure place in the home, preferably in separate locations. Additionally, all students and staff will continue to be vigilant, as safety and security continue to be our top priority."

The student who found the small-caliber, undischarged bullet, gave it to the bus driver, who then reported immediately to school officials. The bus was already on campus when the driver was altered to the situation. The bus was secured and students and the bus were thoroughly searched, the school district said. After the search found nothing additional, students went to class.
