LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- The rest areas off Interstate 71 in Oldham County are closed for the fifth time this year. 

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced Monday that there has been a disruption in water service at the rest stops, located on both sides of I-71 near Crestwood. 

The rest areas have been closed four times this year due to plumbing issues, which were fixed most recently on Dec. 3. 

Transportation officials said it happened when a contractor working on the I-Move Kentucky project damaged a water pipe that services the rest areas.

The rest areas will be closed until further notice as the Louisville Water Company works to repair the damage.
