Truck fire causing traffic to back up in Cadiz

Officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet say a truck that caught on fire continues to block traffic on 1-24 east, near the Exit 65 to I-68 in Trigg County.

Traffic is being directed off at the Cadiz Exit to I-68.

Eastbound traffic is detouring via Princeton-Cadiz Exit 56 to KY 139 into Cadiz, then taking US 68 eastbound to return to I-24 at Exit 65.

Caution is required due to heavy traffic along the detour route.
