Pardue Lane closed through weekend by downed tree

A section of Pardue Lane will be closed until sometime Monday after wind blew a tree into the roadway Saturday morning.

Hopkinsville Public Works says the tree is near the intersection with Radford Street and they elected to close Pardue there for the remainder of the weekend.

Crews will begin clearing the tree Monday morning.

There were numerous reports of downed trees in the area from the gusty winds and Pennyrile Electric crews were out during the morning restoring power following several outages.
