KYTC to close a section of South Road for sinkhole repairs

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close a section of KY 139 in southern Trigg County for about four days starting on Tuesday.

According to a news release, South Road will be closed near mile point 4 to allow for repairs to a sinkhole on the right of way that extends under the roadway at a cross drain.  Due to the depth of the sinkhole, digging out and filling the sinkhole will require the roadway to remain closed until late in the day on Friday.

This closure is along South Road just south of Johnson Hollow Road and 4 miles north of the Kentucky-Tennessee State line between Cadiz and Bumpus Mills.

There will be no marked detour and motorists should be prepared to take an alternate route.
