Here's a link to the article form the local paper.
Large trucks banned from Ky. 151 in Anderson, Franklin counties
I just check the FHWA website as well the KY Transportation Cabinet website and didn't see any information on this closure. So here's my bigger question - discounting any temporary signage that is put up at either end of this short cut, how would someone who doing route planning right now find out about this ban since the two places that I know don't say anything about it.

"The ban approved Friday isn’t final, so the state will continue to work with the Federal Highway Administration to secure the permanent removal of Ky. 151 from the National Truck Network.

Not ban yet. But once it is, expect signs to be posted up -
I don't have a link but just read where another town/area was trying to ban trucks from their area and it was struck down by the State Supreme Court ... Wish I could remember which State.

But whether there is or isn't in this particular instance my original question still remains: What "tools" can a driver have in their toolbox to check for this kind of thing when doing route planning?
I realize that things change and you've got to be flexible but I'd much rather know up front instead of, at the best an on the fly detour or at the worst a hefty fine for being on an unapproved roadway.
FWIW I had the opportunity to go past this exit on 64 westbound yesterday shortly after the original post and there wasn't any signage up yet. -
