Ky. 838 near Crittenden-Livingston line closed starting Thursday

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close Ky. 838/Ditney-Lola Road near the Crittenden-Livingston County line for bridge deck repair work starting Thursday.

Ky. 838 will be closed at Livingston County mile-point 5.884 to allow bridge deck overlay work on the Deer Creek Bridge. This is on Ky. 838 east of the Lola community.  The closure is about a mile west of the Crittenden-Livingston County line between Ky. 723 and Ky. 133.

There will be a marked detour via Ky. 723, U.S. 60 and Ky. 133.

Once work is completed on the Ky. 838 Deer Creek Bridge, traffic will be restricted to one lane for deck work on the Flatlick Creek Bridge at Crittenden County mile-point 0.687 and deck work on the Coefield Creek Bridge at Crittenden County mile point 1.974. At these sites motorists should be alert for one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by an automated signal.

Intech Contracting LLC is the prime contractor on this $363,587 bridge repair project.  The expected project completion date is about Oct. 1.
