Closure of KY 2026 in Powell County postponed

 

JACKSON, Ky.  The closure of KY 2026 (Maple Street in Stanton) in Powell County for installation of a large aluminum box culvert, originally scheduled for June 3-5, has been rescheduled for Monday through Wednesday, June 8-10. Drivers who use this road will have to find an alternate route those three days. The road will be closed at milepoint 3.8 for installation of a large aluminum box culvert.

The project is being postponed due to the possibility of inclement weather.

The road will be closed to all through traffic 24 hours per day beginning Monday morning. It is expected to reopen to traffic late Wednesday afternoon.

No marked detour will be posted. Drivers will need to find an alternate route. Motorists can use KY 2073 (Halls Lane), KY 11/KY 15 (West College Avenue), and KY 213 (North Main Street) to bypass the closure. Local city streets are also available as a detour route. Signs, electronic message boards, and barricades will be in place to notify motorists of the closure.
