Part of the new U.S. 60 alignment in Ballard and McCracken counties has opened to traffic. Expect various traffic shifts as construction continues; use caution. Old U.S. 60 is blocked just west of E. Clarkline Road in Kevil until project completion, which is expected in November. NOTE: KY 995/Rice Springs Road is temporarily blocked at old U.S. 60 until mid-October as crews construct the connection to the new U.S. 60 alignment.

The Murray City Council recently approved a resolution that brings a proposed downtown business loop one step closed to construction. The $1.8 million project would extend from KY 121 south of downtown to KY 94. The project will be partially financed by nearly $1 million in federal funds.

The approach to a bridge on KY 121 south of Mayfield caved in around 4:30am on June 6th. The problem was related to recent flooding. The flood waters washed away material underneath the roadway leading to its collapse. The hole was filled with sand and gravel and the bridge was reopened.
