The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has closed a section of KY 126 in northeastern Trigg County due to a sinkhole in the road.
According to District 1 spokesman Keith Todd, KY 126/Cobb Road is blocked around 5 mile marker, about 50 feet south of the Trigg-Caldwell County line. He says the sinkhole — about the size of a bushel basket — formed in the middle of the road.
Todd indicates the road will remain closed until further notice to allow engineers time to evaluate the sinkhole and develop a repair plan.
Updates will be provided by state transportation officials as repair plans progress.
