TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Construction to Replace Clark Station Road Bridge over Long Run Creek Beginning Monday, April 21, in Jefferson County
Full closure of the bridge through August 1
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (April 8, 2025) – The Clark Station Road Bridge over Long Run Creek in Jefferson County is scheduled to close on Monday, April 21, for a bridge replacement project.
The project includes the demolition of the existing bridge and the construction of the replacement bridge. Hall Contracting of Kentucky, INC., is completing the work under a $845,000 contract.
Work will begin Monday, April 21, and construction will require the full closure of the existing bridge through August 1, 2025. The suggested detour is to follow U.S. 60 to KY 1531, then take Old Clark Station Road to reach Clark Station Road. Motorists should obey restrictions, follow the signed detour, and plan ahead when traveling.
