UPDATE: Extended Closure of KY 120 at Crittenden-Webster County Line starting Monday, Oct 23
Includes marked detour with enforced truck restrictions on nearby county roads
PADUCAH, Ky. (October 16, 2023) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans an extended closure of KY 120/Marion-Providence Road at the Crittenden-Webster County Line starting Monday, October 23, 2023.
This closure of KY 120 at Crittenden County mile point 16.5 is to allow construction of a new Tradewater River Slough Overflow Bridge. This is the second bridge west of the main Tradewater River Bridge.
The roadway at this site is expected to close promptly at 7 a.m., CDT, on Monday, Oct 23. It is expected to remain closed for approximately three months for demolition of the old structure and construction of a new bridge.
Due to the extended closure, KYTC is providing the following:
- Marked Detour via KY 109 North from Providence to U.S. 60 West at Sullivan, then follow U.S. 60 West to Marion
- Marked Detour adds 8.4 miles or 11 minutes to a trip between Marion and Providence
- “No Through Trucks” signage will be placed at the KY 139 end of Shady Grove-Providence Road and at the Providence end of Bellville Road
- “Road closed ahead” signage will be placed on both ends of KY 120 to provide advance notification of the closed area
- Enhanced enforcement requested for alternate routes to assure trucks are not traveling inappropriate county roads
- KYTC and law enforcement will monitor other routes for possible signage if inappropriate truck traffic is observed
Cambry Contracting, Inc., of Leitchfield, KY, is the prime contractor on this $727,224 bridge replacement project. The target completion date is January 26, 2024.
The contractor and KYTC District 1 will attempt to provide timely updates should the work be completed earlier than expected.
