ROADWAY DAMAGE FROM HISTORIC RAIN EVENT IN EARLY APRIL
While the high water has receded, we’re still addressing the damage it left behind. Some routes remain fully or partially closed following the historic rainfall our region experienced in early April. We’ll continue to share updates as they become available.​​

BRACKEN COUNTY
KY 19 near Chaney Road (4 to 5 mile point) is down to one lane with temporary traffic signals in place due to damaged pavement.

CAMPBELL COUNTY
E Main Street (KY 10) at the corner of Redstone Road. (3.4 to 3.65 mile points) One lane closed in the area due to damaged pavement.​​
Stevens Branch Road (KY 1996) just east of Persimmon Grove Pike (KY 1121) is closed due to a slide at the 0.2 mile point.

KENTON COUNTY
​River Road (KY 8) between Villa Hills Marina to Amsterdam Road (KY 371) (0.01 to 1.9 mile point) is closed due to muslide

OWEN COUNTY
KY 355 is down to one lane near Severn Creek Road (4.7 mile point) due to a slide. Temporary traffic signals and signage are now in place.​​

I-275 CARROLL CROPPER BRIDGE UPDATES


On Tuesday, Dec. 17, KYTC implemented weight limits for emergency vehicles and temporary lane restrictions on the I-275 Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge. While the bridge remains safe for passenger vehicles, a recent inspection found deterioration in some of its steel.

New Emergency Vehicle Weight Limits:

  • Single Axle: 16 tons
  • Tandem Axle: 23 tons
  • Gross Weight: 31 tons

The weight reduction will not impact commercia​l vehicle traffic due to semi-trucks having more axles to distribute the weight.

Overweight Over-Dimensional vehicles are not permitted on the bridge at this time due to current lane restrictions.

KYTC bridge engineering analysis shows the reduced weight limit and lane restrictions are needed as a precaution, and to prevent further damage until the structure can be repaired. The repairs will be added to a previously scheduled steel repair project that is currently in progress.

CURRENT TRAFFIC IMPACTS:

A traffic shift has been implemented on the eastbound side of the I-275 Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge over the Ohio River in Boone County.

A temporary speed limit reduction of 55 MPH is currently in place. A queue warning system has also been installed on both sides of the river to warn motorists of any stopped or slowed traffic on/near the bridge.

Here's what you need to know:

Eastbound Traffic Shift (drivers heading from Indiana to Kentucky):

  • On Monday, May 5, crews performed a traffic switch. Traffic will ultimately merge to the left lane ahead of the bridge, and then shift over to the right lane near the bridge's main span.

Westbound Traffic (drivers heading from Kentucky to Indiana):

  • A single right lane closure is in place on I-275 westbound. This lane closure begins at the top of the hill, and spans the length of the Carroll Cropper Memorial Bridge.​

T-1 Steel Repairs:

  • ​The scheduled T-1 steel repairs began on Monday, Jan. 20. 
  • This repair project is scheduled to be completed Late Summer 2025.​

Looking Ahead:

  • Once floor beam repairs are made, current weight restrictions for emergency vehicles will be lifted.

KYTC will provide further updates on schedules and traffic impacts as these added repairs, and scheduled repairs take shape.

Districtwide RR Title.png

VARIOUS ROUTES: Districtwide striping is currently on hold. Originally scheduled to start this week, due to inclement weather they will not move into our district at this time. We're working with the contractor to identify a new start date.

Contractors will be striping various routes within the district: Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Owen, Pendleton, and Robertson. Most work will occur during daytime working hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Routes with higher traffic volume will be completed during nights or weekends to minimize traffic impacts.

Interstate routes will be compl
eted first followed by primary state routes then secondary routes. Striping is a slow-moving mobile operation. Motorists should slow down and expect slow moving traffic in mobile work zones. Please avoid driving over fresh, wet paint. The project has a completion date of Aug. 15, 2025.​


VARIOUS COUNTIES (BOONE, CAMPBELL, CARROLL, GALLATIN, GRANT AND KENTON):

Starting Thursday, April 17, contractors will install “Wrong Way”, “Do Not Enter”, “One Way”, and “Stop” signs at interchanges and exit ramps in Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant and Kenton counties. The improvements aim to reduce wrong way driving incidents and enhance safety.

The signage installation follows a separate contract that was completed last year to install wrong way pavement striping at the same locations. 

Current Location of Work:

-Several locations throughout Boone County

Work will be performed between 8 a.m. and 6 p.m. daily. Lane closures will be in place during work hours. At locations with three or more lanes, one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained. At locations with two lanes, alternating one-way traffic will be maintained with a flagger on site to direct motorists. Traffic on exit ramps will be maintained at partial-width (10 ft. minimum) lanes.

    As part of the resurfacing project, a roadway reconfiguration will take place on a half-mile stretch of W. Fourth Street from Garrard Street (mile point 7.41) to Johnson Street (mile point 6.89).​ The current right lane on W. Fourth Street through this area will become a dedicated bicycle lane. The five-foot wide bicycle lane will feature a three-foot buffer from the curb, and two-foot buffer from vehicular traffic. This bicycle lane will be one-way with bicyclists traveling westbound on W. Fourth Street.​​

    Milling/paving operations on Fifth Street concluded on Thursday, Sept. 12​.

    Fourth Street milling/paving operations and roadway reconfiguration will now take place in Spring 2025. We will provide an additional update once the work is scheduled.

  • Clay Wade Bailey Bridge (U.S. 25, U.S. 42, U.S. 127) – 13.45 – 13.87 mile points – Routine bridge repairs on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge will resume on Tuesday, May 27. The project consists of replacing joints, sealing joints, repairing steel and approach/truss drainage repairs.

    Due to the I-471 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge Fire, the rest of the repair work for the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge was  postponed until Spring 2025. On Wednesday, Nov. 20, (2024) at 8 a.m., the lane closure associated with this work was removed. 

    On Tuesday, May 27, crews will be returning to the project. A southbound right lane closure will be in place. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction. The overhead directional signage will be turned off, and motorists will stay in the designated lane. During this time, crews will be jacking portions of the bridge up, and installing new support for the structure. 

    On Monday, June 2, crews plan to complete all steel/barrier wall work on the bridge. 

    Once this work has been completed, a ten-day closure will be necessary to install three modular joints on the bridge. The bridge will be closed to all vehicular traffic during tihs time, but pedestrians and bicyclists will still have access. KYTC will advise on social media and the D6 Roadshow when this closure will be in place. 


  • Mt. Zion Road/Bristow Road (KY 536) ​ 0.96 ​ 2.5 mile points ​ ​a widening and safety improvement project on KY 536 is in progress. Crews will be working on KY 536 from west of the KY 1303 intersection, to west of Williamswoods Drive.

    The project includes the following improvements:
    ​-Widening throughout the project area from two lanes of vehicular traffic, to four lanes, to reduce congestion and improve traffic efficiency
    -A multi-use path will be built on both sides of KY 536 to improve bicycle/pedestrian connectivity
    -Curb/gutter improvements along with storm sewer and drainage work

    Additionally, two roundabouts will be built to improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and increase safety. These roundabouts will be located at the following intersections:
    -KY 536 and KY 1303
    -KY 536 and Hogrefe Road

    This work may involve several traffic impacts for equipment moving in and out of the work zone.

    A traffic switch took place on Tuesday, Nov. 26. Crews switched traffic between Hogrefe Road and Banklick Road. Traffic was shifted to the south half of the bridge. This configuration will be in place through Spring 2025. 

    The project will require traffic switches, and other new traffic patterns. Prior to these occurring, KYTC will send out an updated press release, as well as a post on social media to inform the public. Message boards will also be in place to warn motorists of any upcoming traffic ​pattern changes.

    The project is expected to be completed Spring 2027. Learn more about this project here.
