Contract Awarded for KY 146 Reconstruction
in Henry County
Project includes realigning and widening of roadway
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (March 2, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) today announces the awarding of a contract for a major realignment and widening of KY 146 (LaGrange Road) in Henry County. The project will enhance the safety of what is currently a narrow, two-lane and winding road.
The section of KY 146 being improved is between KY 153 (Lake Jericho Road), south of the Interstate 71 interchange, and Broko Lane. That’s between mile points 2.169 and 5.333. The project includes relocating waterlines, widening the bridge over the Little Kentucky River and asphalt paving.
Motorists should expect changing traffic patterns and lane shifts as construction progresses. This may sometimes include being directed through the work zone via flaggers. Earlier this week signs notifying drivers of the upcoming work were placed in the area.
Excavation and clearing of the land will follow. That phase will include the burning of debris in accordance with local guidelines. Excavation work is expected to advance to the point that requires the blasting of rock in early to middle April. Motorists should expect traffic to be stopped in both directions for up to 20 minutes during the blasting. Drivers should heed any restrictions, proceed cautiously through the construction zone or seek an alternate route.
E & B Paving Inc. of North Anderson, Ind., was awarded the $19.8 million contract on Dec. 16. Construction is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2024.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
