Rescheduled bridge deck overlay project for Montgomery County
Two bridges located on Hinkston Road/KY 1991 over Hinkston Creek
LEXINGTON, Ky. (April 12, 2022) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of a rescheduled bridge deck overlay project. The work in Montgomery County will be for two bridges located on Hinkston Road/KY 1991. The project is rescheduled due to inclement weather.
A deck overlay is a preventative maintenance action. The deterioration of a bridge deck occurs due to a variety of reasons; general use, exposure to the elements, salting of roads during winter, and accidents. All of these circumstances contribute to the worsening of deck condition.
The overlay serves two main purposes. The first is to remove all unsound deck material. The second purpose is to waterproof the deck with a latex concrete overlay of approximately 1.5 inches in thickness.
