A semi crash occurred Friday morning near Mile Point 70 in the southbound lanes of I-65 in Hart County. The vehicle came to rest behind guardrail and is over an embankment of the construction zone.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, emergency crews are attempting to keep one interstate lane open as much as possible but intermittent full closures will be necessary.
The Exit 71 Southbound on-ramp is restricted to emergency vehicles only.
It is expected to take several hours to clear the scene.
Motorists traveling through should consider using Exit 91 to the Western Kentucky Parkway and Natcher Parkway as a route to re-join I-65 in Bowling Green.
Motorists needing local access should consider US 31W.
