Road work to close Ky. 654

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close a section of Ky. 654 in Crittenden County on Monday and Tuesday. The closure was originally scheduled for this week, but heavy rains delayed the project.

Ky. 654 will be closed at the Tribune Creek Bridge just off Ky. 120 to allow base repair work to be followed by paving. Ky. 654 will be closed at 7:30 a.m. Monday. The contractor will mill out the area, then place several layers of asphalt to provide a new base layer to be followed by additional layers of asphalt to create a new driving surface on Tuesday.

The roadway will remain closed overnight. It is expected to reopen to normal traffic flow late on Tuesday afternoon.

Message boards have been placed at each end of this section of Ky. 654 to alert motorists to this planned closure on Monday and Tuesday.

This project was originally scheduled for this week, but had to be postponed due to weather.
