U.S. 68-Business Closed West of Downtown Cadiz on Wednesday, Aug 5

PADUCAH, Ky. (August 4, 2020) — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close U.S. 68-Business/Canton Road just west of the Cadiz downtown business district on Wednesday, August 5, 2020.

U.S. 68-Business/Canton Road will be closed between the intersection with KY 139/South Road and KY 274/Rockcastle Road on Wednesday to allow removal of a large tree that fell along the right-of-way this afternoon. Due to the position and size of the tree, the roadway will have to be closed approximately 3 to 4 hours starting on Wednesday morning to allow the tree to be cut up and removed.

Motorists may self-detour via KY 139/South Road and U.S. 68 around Cadiz.
