Highway blocked south of Fredonia

UPDATE
Site is cleared and highway is OPEN.


ORIGINAL POST
An overturned tractor-trailer is blocking US 641 in northern Lyon County between Eddyville and Fredonia.

The blockage is just north of the KY 1943 intersection near the 4 mile marker.  

The truck is reported to be empty.

The Kentucky Department of Highways estimates that the highway could be blocked for up to 3 hours, which would mean the road could be closed until after 8am this morning.

The highway department is urging passenger vehicles to consider a self-detour via KY 902 and KY 293 through Dycusburg.

We will try to get an early update on this situation, so check back regularly.
