Dam 50 access to remain closed next week

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to continue daytime closures on KY 387/Dam 50 Road in Crittenden County into Monday through Wednesday, July 20, 21, and 22, 2009.

Drainage improvements near the entrance to the Dam 50 Recreation Area have required more work than expected, extending the closure to into next week.

Work at the site will block all access to the boat landing and campground.

KY 387/Dam 50 Road will be closed between the 3 and 4 mile marker. This is between Cotton Patch Road and the End of State Maintenance at the Dam 50 Recreation Area. Again, this will prohibit all daytime access to the recreation area on Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.

KY 387 is expected to be closed at the site between 8:00 a.m. and 2:30 p.m., CDT, each day. This work will block all vehicle access to the Dam 50 Recreation Area during work hours. The plan of work calls for the roadway to reopen to traffic overnight.

Motorists, campers, and fishermen who normally travel KY 387 to access the Dam 50 Recreation Area should make advance alternate plans during daylight hours Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday.
