Due to weather conditions, a contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has postponed closing a section of KY 126 in southern Caldwell County.
Spokesperson Keith Todd says that KY 126 will be closed between Harmony Church Road and Kentucky 514 starting Thursday, May 16 to allow reconstruction of the Dreen Creek Bridge.
He adds the contractor will start the reconstruction of the bridge sub-structure, as well as rehab work on the piers and pier caps, to be followed by reconstruction of the bridge deck.
Todd notes that the closure is expected to be in place for approximately 45 days with a target completion date of July 1st.
This project is part of the Bridging Kentucky Program, an aggressive effort to replace or rehabilitate about 1,000 critical bridges over a period of 2 years.
