Traffic is being rerouted because of a semi-truck fire blocking both lanes of KY 293 in Lyon County Wednesday morning.
District 1 spokesman Keith Todd with the state’s Transportation Cabinet reported just before 9:00 a.m. the fire was along KY 293 between Interstate 24 Eddyville Exit 45 near the Dollar General Store just East of the KY 93 intersection.
He said the truck was loaded with furniture, and both lanes of KY 293 were blocked while firefighters were on the scene.
Motorists attempting to access Eddyville from I-24 at Exit 45 should detour via the U.S. 62 Eddyville-Kuttawa Exit 40 Interchange. KY 293 remains open for travel east toward Princeton from the Exit 45 Interchange. There is no access to I-24 from Eddyville via KY 93 at this time.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning a three-day work zone lane restriction along a section of U.S. 68/Kentucky 80 in Trigg County starting Wednesday.
District One Spokesman Keith Todd said the eastbound lane restriction near the 24-mile marker is to facilitate erosion control work. The work zone will be along U.S. 68/KY 80 just west of the Interstate 24 – Cadiz Exit 65 Interchange between Kentucky 3468 and Broadbent Boulevard.
Todd added the lane restriction is expected to be active between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday, and Friday.
Eastbound motorists should be alert for slowing and merging traffic as they approach the work zone.
Grenfell expert witness is father of council safety chief
A Grenfell Tower expert witness has signed a legal agreement not to speak to his son, head of fire safety at Kensington and Chelsea Council, about anything related to the inquiry.
It has emerged that Colin Todd, described by a lawyer representing the council this week as “probably the country’s most well-known expert on fire-risk assessment”, is the father of Keith Todd, the council’s head of fire safety.
After its Easter break, the public inquiry is set to consider evidence regarding the council’s tenant management organisation (TMO) that was responsible for the Grenfell Tower before the fire. It was disbanded in 2017 with the council taking over the running of its housing directly.
