Update: All below listed streets are passable at this time and all barricades have subsequently been removed from the roadway. Remain aware of changing weather patterns and drive safely.
Due to high water from this morning’s storm system the following roads in the City of Owensboro are closed until water has receded:
West 4th Street at Orchard Street
West 5th Street at Orchard Street
West 2nd Street at Maple Street
Although the preceding roads are the only ones that have been currently listed as impassible it is important to stay vigilant of ever changing roadway conditions under threat of severe and ongoing weather related conditions.
