Eastbound I-64 Closed In Bath County

The Kentucky Department of Transportation (District 9) is reporting (Thurs., Jan. 2, 5:00PM) that I-64 eastbound is closed at 115MM in Bath County. Traffic is being detoured via US 60 at Exit 113. Westbound lanes on I-64 remain unaffected at this time. Cause of the closure is a propane tanker that has jackknifed and both eastbound lanes are blocked. Estimated duration of the detour is 3-5 hours.
