LEXINGTON, Ky. — The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced Tuesday that crews will close a bridge intersection in Madison County on June 30 to remove flood debris left behind by devastating storms that swept across the region over the weekend.
The intersection of Tates Creek Road (KY 169) and Maple Grove Road (KY 1984) will close at mile point 2.0 from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. to remove flood debris from a bridge, weather permitting. Drivers are advised to use alternate routes during the work period.
Widespread flooding across Kentucky left at least four dead and prompted dozens of rescues and evacuations after heavy rains wiped out bridges, inundated roads and flooded homes, with Gov. Andy Beshear saying conditions are improving. Three of the deaths occurred in Madison County, just south of Lexington, including a man and woman who officials said drowned in a home that was underwater.
Madison County Coroner Jimmy Cornelison identified one victim as Garnett Isbell, 73, who died when his car was swept away on Tates Creek Road. John Powell, 57, and Patricia Beck, 51, both died in a basement apartment on University Drive.
The bridge closure is part of a broader regional recovery effort. The KYTC also provided an update regarding other roads closed around the region due to the flash flooding, with KY 1541 in Jessamine County and KY 1971 in Garrard County still closed as of Monday afternoon, as KYTC crews continue working to clean up debris and repair damaged roads and bridges.
