The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 3 (KYCTC) has announced the start of a road rehabilitation project that will lead to a significant closure on KY 100 road within Simpson County. The closure of the road is scheduled to commence next week, thereby causing a potential shift in traffic patterns for the local population.
Starting Tuesday, May 28, there will be a 21-day road closure between U.S. 31-W (mile point 9.7) and KY 1008 (mile point 10.7). The closure is deemed necessary by officials, and is designed to uphold public safety standards while the contractor executes the planned works efficiently.
In anticipation of this closure, a detour on KY 1008 has been outlined for the motorists. This alternative route will offer a means to navigate around the project, thereby helping to mitigate the potenital interruption in traffic flow.
The closure is also facilitating the continuation of the KY 100 road rehabilitation project. This includes refurbishing the concrete roadway on KY 100 from the bridge over the railroad track to U.S. 31-W. The long-term road project plans to provide more resistant, durable, and improved roads for motorists in and around Simpson County.
The project is a major initiative being undertaken by the KYCTC to rehabilitate defective stretches of road in Simpson County. The revitalization project is expected to bring about significant improvements in infrastructure and road safety in the region, setting a precedent for other roadway rehabilitation projects across the state.
While the road closure and detour may bring about some initial inconvenience, the project is anticipated to enhance overall road quality and transportation safety when completed. It is an important step toward modernizing and upgrading local road infrastructure.
As the project moves ahead, local communities are encouraged to stay informed about the progress and potential adjustments in road closures or detours. This approach to continuous communication will help ensure that the community is well-prepared and can accommodate any changes during the project. In the meantime, the KYCTC continues its commitment to enhance the state’s roads and transportation infrastructure, ultimately benefitting the public and the broader Simpson County community.
