Intersection KY 90/KY 61, Burkesville, KY closed 2017-05-20 - KY 61/KY 90 Intersection - Photo by Ed Waggener, Columbiamagazine.com(c) . The signs posted for 20 miles around this intersection mean it. Traffic is being diverted along the regular routes. At 3:41pmCT, Friday, May 19, 2017, we were able to make purchases at the Minit Mart. Access to Ballou & Stotts, left side of photo, was maintained on North Main Street. And the south side of the intersection could be accessed from here by side streets, with most traffic utilizing Cliff Street off Main to get to Schickel Park and the European Bike Rally, the Cumberland River access on Bank Street. It's takes longer, but in Burkesville and Cumberland County, being lost can yield wonderful rewards. Pedestrian access on the left, east side of N Main is maintained, and bicycle riders can walk bikes past the intersection. - EW Read More... | Comments? | Click here to share, print, or bookmark this photo.

When free tipping opens at 7amCT, Sat - lines should move faster 2017-05-19 . The queue was over 30 vehicles long when this photo was taken. The lines moved slowly because of a cumbersome weighing system which shouldn't occur Saturday morning thanks to Magistrate Daryl Flatt, Transfer Station Manager Doug Hensley, and Vicky Pike putting their heads together and finding a streamlined system expected to speed offloading to twice the speed.. At one point Friday, a heavily loaded dump truck's power failed, the vehicle had to be offloaded by hand and the lines backed up. When Vicky Pike, a member of the Adair County Solid Waste Advisory Committee, arrived at noon to inspect free tipping opening day, she found the line moving slowly; during the afternoon the situation worsened. But when she and Adair County Magistrate Daryl Flatt and transfer station overseer Doug Hensley put their heads together, they found a way to streamline the off loading, starting at 7amCT tomorrow, which should allow Adair Countians to move through at the line at twice the speed.
