The nearly 1,000 drivers who travel each day along Ky. 91 just west of Marion will find traffic restrictions again next week.
According to Keith Todd, spokesman for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, a contractor plans to resume work on installation of new railings for two bridges over Crooked Creek, as well as the approaches to each span. The road will not likely be closed, but could be restricted to one lane at times.
Todd, who lives in Marion, said the work is scheduled to begin early Monday morning and should be completed by next Friday, weather permitting.
"This last week the contractor had to pull off this project to install guardrails at another location," Todd said.
The new guardrails on Ky. 91 North will be placed at the Crooked Creek Bridge at the Marion's western limit and a mile further north along a bridge near the junction of Freedom Church Road. Ky. 91 North links to Ill. 1 in Cave in Rock via the Ohio River Ferry.
Motorists who regularly travel Ky. 91 ... Crittenden County should continue to be alert for equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel on the roadway at the west edge of Marion," Todd warned.
