TRAFFIC ADVISORY: KY 207 Remains Closed in Greenup County for Slide Repairs

Between Industrial Parkway and KY 503

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (Sept. 4, 2020) – Embankment repairs are continuing along KY 207 between the Industrial Parkway (KY 67) and KY 503 in Greenup County, and the highway will remain closed at least another week.

Kentucky Department of Highways crews began work Aug. 19 to remove unstable rock and material from a hillside slope above KY 207 at milepoint 11.5 – about a half mile north of the Industrial Parkway interchange between Ridge Terrace and Hamilton Cemetery Road – and make repairs. Due to weather delays and the amount of excavation encountered, work will continue through at least Sept. 11.

The road remains closed at the work site. Motorists may detour during construction by using US 23 and the Industrial Parkway through Wurtland.
