Update: 10:30amCT on I-65 closure at MP 56 in Hart County 10:30amCT/ Update: Northbound Interstate 65 Closed Due To Accident At Mile Point 56 By Chris Jessie, Public Information Officer Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, District 4, Elizabethtown, KY ELIZABETHTOWN, KY (August 26, 2013) - Northbound Interstate 65 remains closed at Mile Point 56 in Hart County. A hazardous materials crew is removing cargo from the semi which crashed around 7amCT. Closure is expected to last another 8 hours as cleanup continues. Detour information is amended from the previous release. Northbound traffic is now being routed off at Cave City (Exit 53) onto KY 90 east, to US 31W north, to KY 70 east, to US 31E north, to KY 61 (Lincoln Parkway) north and rejoin I65 in Elizabethtown (Exit 91). Motorists from I-65 are urged to follow the detour route. GPS units may indicate and suggest other routes, however, many of these roads are congested with local traffic and do not easily accommodate large vehicles and high volumes. For motorists traveling through to Elizabethtown, motorists may also wish to exit I65 in Bowling Green via the William Natcher Parkway north to Western Kentucky Parkway east and rejoin I65 in Elizabethtown. Updates will be sent as removal and cleanup progresses. - Chris Jessie 2013-08-26 12:44:07 | Comments | Printable version
Adair School District releases ACT test scores for 2013 From Adair County School District ACT scores for the 2013 graduates of Kentucky have been released and while the state scores are up slightly over the 2012 scores, the Adair County numbers do not reflect an increase for the graduating class of 2013. As noted by Commissioner Holliday in his report to the media on August 21, changes made by ACT make it difficult to compare this year's data to previous years because we are "comparing apples to oranges," stated the commissioner. The changes he was referring to are: students who get accommodations were included in this year's report and that had not been the case in the past and the reading and science benchmarks were changed. The reading benchmark went up a point (from 21 to 22) and science went down a point (from 24 to 23). English (18) and math (22) remained the same.

A semi crash occurred earlier, initially reducing the interstate to one lane. The vehicle's cargo includes used batteries. Due to safety concerns, northbound traffic is now being detoured off of I65 at Cave City (Exit 53), onto KY 70 east, to US 31W north, to KY 218 west and rejoin the interstate at Horse Cave (Exit 58). Closure is expected to last 4-5 hours as the cargo is unloaded and the semi removed. Southbound traffic is not affected at this time. Motorists from I65 are urged to follow the US 31W detour route. GPS units may indicate and suggest other routes, however many roads which connect with US 31W will likely be congested as local traffic attempts to navigate around detour traffic. Updates will be sent as removal and cleanup progresses. Chris Jessie 2013-08-26 08:19:00 | Comments | Printable version
