UPDATE: The sinkhole has been filled at the road has reopened.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Trigg County Highway Maintenance Crew has closed a section of KY 126—Cobb Road—due to a sinkhole near Cerulean in Trigg County.
Over the last several days maintenance personnel have patched a pothole along KY 126 between the 1 and 2 mile marker northwest of Cerulean, only for the pothole to reappear in a few days each time. As the crew checked the site Wednesday morning, they found a hole slightly smaller than a soccer ball that appeared to lead into a sinkhole.
KY 126 will be closed at this site while engineers evaluate the sinkhole and develop a plan to fill it, and it could remain closed for a couple of days.
There will be no marked detour, though motorists may self-detour via Wallonia Road and Cerulean Road.
