Roads in Christian, Trigg and Todd Counties are wet, with some problems possible on bridges and overpasses.
Christian and Trigg County emergency officials report roads are wet but drivable. Bridges and overpasses are possibly slick, with patches of black ice possible around the area.
Meanwhile, conditions seem to be more hazardous to the west. Kentucky State Police and Marshall County 911 Dispatch report emergency agencies from several counties continue to work a multi-vehicle crash blocking Interstate 24 westbound near the 30-mile marker at the I-24 Tennessee River Bridge. One lane is open eastbound with traffic moving slowly through the area.
The crash site involves a total of 11 vehicles, including 8 SEMI trucks. One of the trucks was hauling cattle – a couple of dozen were reported to have escaped into the median. Not all of the cattle are accounted for at this time – requiring eastbound traffic to remain one lane and slowed.
This crash is along I-24 between the U.S. 62 Calvert City Exit 27 Interchange and the KY 453 Grand Rivers Exit 31 Interchange at the Marshall-Livingston County Line.
A crash reconstruction investigation has been completed, allowing some of the vehicles to start being removed from the area.
Once all vehicles are removed, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet personnel will be treating this closed 4-mile section of I-24 westbound with salt before it can be reopened.
The estimated duration is extended 6 hours to approximately 10:30 a.m., CST.
Westbound motorists may detour between Exit 31 and Exit 27 via KY 453 and U.S. 62. As traffic picks up with the morning commute motorists should be prepared for delays along the detour.
Again, one eastbound lane is open with traffic slowed in the area. Caution is required.
