Subheading H2 Heading Supporting Text Goes Here

MANCHESTER, Ky. (March 25, 2022) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 11 Office advises motorists that a bridge replacement project in Harlan County starts on Monday, March 28.

This bridge is part of the Bridging Kentucky program’s Eastern Kentucky Design-Build Project No.1. The project is being delivered by a design build team led by Central Bridge Co., LLC J/V Bizzack Construction LLC and HDR Engineering, Inc.

This Harlan County bridge project will replace the Rasnick Road (CR 1020W) bridge over the Poor Fork Cumberland River at Old Highway 19. This project is a realignment of the bridge from its current location.

Traffic will continue to use the current bridge during construction. Temporary closures and flaggers may be utilized during some phases of work, including along Old Highway 19.

The new bridge is scheduled to be open to traffic by Sunday, June 26, 2022.

Bridging Kentucky is a program to improve the safety and soundness of the Commonwealth’s bridges by rehabilitating, repairing, or replacing critical bridges throughout the state. For more information on Bridging Kentucky and other bridge projects, please visit http://BridgingKentucky.com.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet asks motorists to be aware of the work zone, expect delays, and to utilize safe driving habits when traveling through the area.

The date and time could be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists can access travel and traffic conditions at http://goky.ky.gov or contribute their reports at www.waze.com or via the Waze mobile application.
