(KBSI) – Several roads in western Kentucky are still closed due to damage from flash flooding in July.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews continue to check area highways for infrastructure damage from flash flooding that swept across the region on July 19.

This report includes the closure of KY 2422 near the 6.25 mile point in Graves County.

Tuesday morning, KYTC engineers received calls about a depression in the roadway immediately west of the KY 129 intersection. An inspection team found a culvert was damaged by flash flooding last week.

Drivers who observe conditions that indicate a hazard to the driving public should take note of the location using a mile point, crossroad, or other landmark.

Engineers ordered materials required to start repairs at several of the locations on this list. Fabrication of those materials may take several weeks in somem cases.
