Part of I-69 Closed Sunday Afternoon Due To Accident

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the Princeton Fire Department reports a semi-truck overturned on I-69/Former WKY PKWY at the 74.2 mile marker Southbound between the Princeton and Eddyville Exits. 

I-69 will be closed for at least an hour at this site to allow removal of the truck. The detour will be via KY 91 and US 62 which parallels I-69 in this area.

The crash has damaged the right of way and thrown mud on the driving surface, so there will likely be an extended cleanup effort which will require a lane restriction through the afternoon at this site.
