Travel: Glasgow, KY, LBN traffic jam
backs up traffic over mile


But does not compare to 9-day traffic jam in Orient
About: Parkway closed at Glasgow KY for 1 hour Tuesday

To ColumbiaMagazine.com:

Ratliff and I had to go to Scottsville, Tuesday evening to teach math classes at the LWC Scottsville campus.

Just as we were getting to Glasgow, at approximately the 12 mile marker, we met a wrecker towing a Dump Truck that had a portion of its front axle destroyed.

Skid marks indicated that it was going west bound when it skidded across the west bound lanes and into the median.

The truck's load, which appeared to be gravel, had been scattered all over the east bound lanes and the median. A BobCat loader was scraping the highway clean as we passed by.

Traffic was backed up only to the bridge/overpass of exit 11...nothing to compare with the 9 day traffic jam in China that made the news the other day!

Health insurance for qualifying Kentucky Kids now Free

Gov. Beshear Announces elimination of Kentucky Children's Insurance Program (KCHIP) premiums. $20 monthly premium has been dropped. For more information, visit Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program

By Kerri Richardson
News from Commonwealth News Center


Frankfort, KY - Families in the Kentucky Children's Health Insurance Program (KCHIP), which offers free or low-cost health insurance to eligible children, will no longer have to pay monthly premiums to ensure coverage for their child, Gov. Steve Beshear announced today.

Previously, some KCHIP families were required to pay a $20 monthly premium to receive KCHIP coverage for their children. Gov. Beshear recommended and the Kentucky General Assembly approved suspending the monthly charge after determining it served as a deterrent to enrollment and caused some children to drop out of the program because of the burden of paying premiums.
