Traffic Advisory: KY 36 (Moorefield Road) Closed East of Carlisle in Nicholas County
Repairs under way; should reopen by 4 p.m.
FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (July 30, 2021) – Moorefield Road (KY 36) in Nicholas County remains closed to all traffic today east of downtown Carlisle where overnight flooding damaged the highway.
The damage occurred around two culverts along Brushy Fork (at milepoints 5.7 and 5.8) about a half mile east of Scrubgrass Road. Temporary repairs are under way, and state highway crews expect to reopen the road by 4 p.m. today.
Once open, motorists should use caution as travel will be on gravel and temporary surface until full repairs can be scheduled.
Heavy rains across Nicholas County last night led to high water over several state highways, including KY 36, KY 32, KY 1285 (East Union Road), and others. All high water has now receded. A tree blocking KY 1274 has also been removed.
