KY 91 bridge work

Crooked Creek Bridge on KY 91 North will be restricted to one-lane of traffic today (Monday). The lane restriction is to allow installation of new guardrail on the bridge at the Marion city limits. The contractor will also be installing new guardrail on the KY 91 Crooked Creek Bridge near Freedom Church Road.

The Crittenden County Highway Maintenance Crew has built up shoulders near the bridges to prepare for installation of the new bridge railings and approach guardrail. Work on both bridges is expected to be completed in about a week, weather permitting.

KY 91 links to Illinois Route 1 at the Ohio River via the Cave In Rock Ferry.

Motorists who regularly travel KY 91 North in Crittenden County should be alert for equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel on the roadway at the northwest edge of Marion. About 1,000 vehicles travel this section of KY 91 in an average day.
