KYTC personnel are reporting that floodwater levels have dropped since last night. Crews are out picking up Water Over Road signs in the Paducah/McCracken County area.
Several veteran KYTC employees noted that there was water over roadways in places not normally known for flooding. There have been some reports by the public that 4 inches of rain fell in about 2 hours in some parts of the immediate Paducah area.
While most highways have reopened and travel has become somewhat easier, there are still trouble spots and water will continue to be over some roadways through the night.
Here are some specific locations that will continue to be posted for flooding issues:
KY 994/Old Mayfield Road at the intersection with KY 1014/Houser Road and a portion of Houser Road near the intersection
KY 1954/Husbands Road at KY 999 Krebs Station Road
KY 1565/Mayfield-Metropolis Rd between KY 305 and the Railroad Overpass
KY 1255/Bonds Road is CLOSED at the 2 to 3 mile marker due to Floodwaters
Water Over Road signs are posted at additional locations were floodwaters could rise during the night.
Motorists are urged to continue to use caution as the flooding may have washed debris on area roadways that may not be apparent after dark. Motorists should also use caution in the early morning hours.
