Bridge Replacement on KY 773 (Bolts Fork) Starts Today in Boyd County
All thru traffic detoured until work complete
FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (April 7, 2022) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will start work today to replace a damaged KY 773 (Bolts Fork Road) bridge in Boyd County.
In March, inspectors found damage to steel support beams under the bridge, located on KY 773 just south of Jerry Fannin Road (milepoint 4.57), that necessitated its closure for public safety.
A replacement aluminum arch culvert-style bridge was ordered. Today, April 7, contractors will remove the old structure. The new bridge will be placed next week, and the road should be reopened by Friday, April 15, or shortly thereafter once the pavement has been rebuilt.
Until work is complete, the road will remain closed at the bridge about 2 miles from the KY 3 intersection. All thru traffic on KY 773 should detour using KY 3 and KY 854 through Garner and KY 1945 (Jacks Fork).
Bolts Fork Road (KY 773) is a rural state highway in southern Boyd County that serves approximately 350 vehicles per day.
