The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that bridge construction operations will occur on KY 1223 (Dorthea Road) from mile points 1.145 to 1.250 in Laurel County until it reopens on Sunday (May 26) at 5 p.m.
This closure is needed for bridge construction in conjunction with the US25E congestion reduction project. Signs are posted to provide guidance for the detour.
KYTC asks motorists to be aware of the work zone, expect significant delays, reduced speed, and to utilize safe driving habits when traveling through the area.
The date, time, and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists can access travel and traffic conditions at http://goky.ky.gov or contribute their reports at www.waze.com or via the Waze mobile application.
