KY 2024 in Owsley County is reopening following major flood damage

The KY 2024 from Owsley County was closed for quite some time at its 2.6 mile point because there was flash flood damage to the Indian creek bridge and roadway. The damage was so severe that they were forced to stop everyone from staying on the road, and the idea was a very good one, because it’s crucial to keep everyone safe.

What’s important to note is that the Transportation Cabinet team were evaluating the damage and what repairs they could do in order to make it easier for people to at least pass the road. Of course, that would be just a temporary fix, a complete repair would arrive down the road. The plan is to create a low water crossing, but until that’s possible, the road stays closed.

The important thing to note is that the location where this was closed is just near the Grassy branch Road. It’s in the Ricetown community, and around 175 cars are using this road every day. The problem is that there are no alternative route, so obviously the focus here is to restore access as quickly as possible.

However, on January 13th the KY 2024 reopened after 2 weeks of flash flood damage. The news comes from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, and it was expected for quite some time by people that were using that road every day.

In order to deal with this issue, they provided a low water crossing, the permanent repairs are still something that will take place in the future. Since the low water crossing is a temporary solution, drivers are required to use a lot of caution and really low speeds at this location. The thing to note here is that heavy rain might lead to flooding, so there are a variety of potential problems that might appear here, which is something to keep in mind.

It’s very hard to know when the permanent repairs will take place, but residents hope this will happen sooner rather than later. The temporary solution is very prone to damage if powerful rain comes back.

It is that time of year again. Christmastime. It is one of my favorite seasons for a myriad of reasons. Here are just a few reasons why I love Christmas. This list is in no order of importance.

1. The Christmas decorations

I am that person who will decorate directly after Thanksgiving is over. This year, my roommates and I put the tree up in our apartment before we even left for Thanksgiving break. It is a great stress reliever for me to just sit in my living room and work on the huge amount of work I have before the semester is over.

Writing a paper is never fun and is rarely rewarding. The writer's block, the page requirement, be specific, but don’t summarize, make sure you fixed any grammatical errors, did you even use spellcheck? and analyze, analyze, analyze.

Papers can be a major pain. They take up so much time and effort that by the end of the process you hate yourself and you hate the professor for making life so difficult. Questions of your existence start roaming in your mind. Am I even cut out for college if I can’t write a single paper? Am I even capable of taking care of myself if I lack the energy to open my laptop and start typing?
