The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has closed a section of Wallonia Road in northern Trigg County due to a sinkhole.
Kentucky 128 is closed near mile point 5.9, where a sinkhole has developed in the middle of the road. This is between Barefield Road and the Cerulean Road intersection.
Keith Todd with the transportation cabinet said the Trigg County Highway Maintenance Department 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.
