I-65 Gets Temporary Fix
KENTUCKY....
Kentucky transportation officials have put temporary concrete barriers in the median of Interstate 65 in Hart County. The barriers were installed following the deaths of 11 people on the highway in March. Ten people in a van and a tractor-trailer truck driver died when the truck ran through the median near Munfordville, hit the van, then crashed into a rock wall. Department of Highways spokesman Mark Brown said the new temporary barriers prevented a tractor-trailer from crossing through the median last week. He said the barriers will remain until a permanent fix is completed.
