Persisting road closures on state highways in District 6 due to inclement weather conditions, according to KYTC reports.
High water is impacting numerous roads in Kentucky's Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 6, with several closures and impacts reported.
Oneonta Road (KY 1566) has been updated to be closed at Truesdall Road. Drivers are advised to avoid this area as the barricades are in place to keep motorists safe.
River Road (KY 8) between the Villa Hills Marina to Amsterdam Road (KY 371) in Kenton County is closed due to a mudslide. Motorists are encouraged to seek alternative routes.
Riddles Run Road (KY 2852) between Beaver Road (KY 338) and Hathaway Road (KY 536) is also impacted by high water.
Steeles Bottom Road (KY 1992) in Gallatin County is closed between 3.1 and 3.6 mile points.
In addition, KY 389 from the Carroll/Henry County line extending to near Camp Branch Road (0.0 to 1.5 mile point) is now completely covered with water.
These roads in District 6 remain blocked due to flooding, and new roads may be added to the closure list as updates are available.
However, there are some roads that remain clear. KY 2997 just north of Woodrow Wilson Road (2.51 mile point) to KY 389 (4.25 mile point) is clear. Similarly, KY 36 from the intersection of KY 36/US 42 (8.12 mile point) to the Carroll/Trimble County line (0.0 mile point) is clear.
KY 467 between Harrison Street and Buffalo Creek Road (0.50 to 2.0 mile points) is also clear. KY 19 near Chaney Road (4 to 5 mile point) is down to one lane with temporary traffic signals in place due to damaged pavement, but it is passable.

Additional updates between press releases will be posted on the KYTC District 6 Facebook page. It is strongly recommended that drivers check GoKY for traffic conditions before traveling.
Never drive through a flooded roadway. Remember: Turn around. Don't drown. And do NOT move barriers or barricades put in place, even as water may be receding.
The search results did not provide specific information about additional roads in KYTC District 6 affected by flooding beyond the current list. However, it is important to stay informed and exercise caution when traveling in the affected areas.
One final piece of good news: Washington Trace Road and Painter Road (KY 2921) were previously closed between Oneonta Road (KY 1566) and Mary Ingles Highway (KY 8), but are now clear.
Stay safe on the roads, and we will continue to provide updates as they become available.
