Ky. 137 River Road reopen to traffic

Ky. 137 (River Road) has reopened to traffic in Livingston County between the 6 and 16 mile markers. A Livingston County maintenance crew is continuing efforts to clear debris and mud left behind by extended flooding along this section.

Highway personnel will be working in the area for the next couple of days. Motorists can expected to encounter one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers as crews go about their work.

A road grader, snow plows, and rotary pavement sweepers have been used in an effort to remove a thick layer of dirt left behind by Ohio River floodwaters. A number of trees were washed onto the roadway in this area that had to be moved off the roadway and are now being cut up and remove.
