Several roads are still awaiting repair due to infrastructure damage from flash flood events during the last three weeks.

Crews are making some progress.  

KY 2140 has reopened in Fulton County at the site of a washout.

KY 408 in Graves County is expected to reopen sometime Thursday.  Engineers are optimistic that KY 1686 in Hickman County could reopen early next week.  Work at other locations is pending arrival of materials.

Seven area highways continue to be blocked due to infrastructure damage from flash flood events over the last several weeks.

U.S. 51 is restricted to one lane with an automated signal north of Clinton in Hickman County for erosion repairs that will have to wait until floodwaters beneath the Obion Creek Bridge drop.
