The flooding, which killed at least four people including three in Madison County just south of Lexington, has required crews across the 12-county district to clear debris, assess damage and make repairs to regional roadways and bridges. In Jessamine County, Chrisman Mill Road (KY 1541) between mile points 6.1 and 6.2 has reopened to one lane with temporary traffic signals in place while repairs continue. In Madison County, Maple Grove Road (KY 1984) has fully reopened after crews removed flood debris, and the bridge on Tates Creek Road (KY 169) at mile point 11 is expected to reopen to one lane this week, weather permitting. The storms dumped up to 8 inches of rain in parts of the state, prompting more than 60 rescues and evacuations. At least 12 roads across the state were flooded and inaccessible, while numerous bridges in counties like Jessamine were entirely wiped out. KYTC is advising motorists to use extra caution in affected areas and to watch for personnel, signage, cones, barriers and barricades as recovery work continues. The agency notes that traffic impacts may change as repairs progress. District 7 encompasses Anderson, Bourbon, Boyle, Clark, Fayette, Garrard, Jessamine, Madison, Mercer, Montgomery, Scott and Woodford counties.
