Traffic Advisory: Early Morning Operations for Bridge Repairs on KY 15 Carr Fork Lake in Knott County

Deck operations will occur on October 27 and again on Tuesday, October 31, from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m.

KNOTT COUNTY (October 26, 2023) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises motorists of long traffic delays for deck operations along KY 15 in Knott County. The bridge is located at mile point 5.6 (1.6 miles East of KY 160) over Carr Fork Lake.

Crews will perform deck operations on the bridge starting in the early morning of October 27, from 2 a.m. to 7 a.m. Crews will return on Tuesday, October 31, during the same hours to complete the operations. During this time, traffic will be controlled by onsite flaggers.

Motorists will experience longer wait times as crews pour concrete for the bridge. These impacts are necessary due to the size of the equipment and to allow crews room to work safely in the work zone. KYTC and our contractors will make every effort to finish the operations before the morning school traffic. 

Motorists should plan for congestion in the area. Please watch for signage and slow down when encountering a work zone. 

Schedules are subject to change based on weather conditions. 

Hayden Bridge Company has been contracted to perform the work.
