Kentucky And Barkley Dams Operating At Capacity To Manage Floodwaters

From the News Edge: Transportation officials are reporting a traffic backup along the westbound lanes of I-24 in the work zone from near the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line to the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit. The contractor is pouring concrete as part of ongoing pavement rehabilitation work around the 89-mile marker, near the Pembroke-Oak Grove exit. While concrete trucks are moving in and out of this work area delivering material, the traffic backup appears to be more related to heavy traffic along the westbound lanes today. Westbound I-24 traffic in this work zone is backed up about 3 to 4 miles at this time with traffic slowed to about 35 mph in the area. To help reduce traffic congestion in this area, regular commuters who normally travel this section of I-24 westbound are being asked to seek an alternate route, if possible...............................................................................................................................A Night With The Blues is Saturday night at the Alhambra Theatre. The show will feature the music of blues band “Willie Sugarcapps.” VIP tickets are $50 each and included reserve seating and an "eat, meet, and greet" with the band before the show.

Kentucky and Barkley Dams Operating At Capacity To Manage Floodwaters

All but three of Kentucky Dam's concrete flood gates are completely open, with at least four flood gates at Barkley Dam doing the same to ease flooding and to manage flood waters in the lakes and along the Cumberland and Tennessee Rivers. Click here to see photos by Susan Watts.
