Section of Wallonia Road closed by sinkhole

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has closed a section of Wallonia Road in northeastern Trigg County due to a sinkhole.

Wallonia Road is closed between Barefield Road and Cerulean Road where a sinkhole has developed in the middle of the roadway.

The Trigg County Highway Maintenance Crew had filled a pothole at this site about a week ago.  When they returned to check on the site Friday, the pothole had opened up into a sinkhole about a foot in diameter.

The site is closed and barricaded and there will be no marked detour.

A crew plans to be at the site early Monday to dig into the hole and start efforts to make repairs.
