Project includes improvements to asphalt pavement
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Jan, 24, 2024) – A roadway rehabilitation project has been awarded for U.S. 421/Bald Knob Road in Franklin County. The roadway rehabilitation project from mile marker 5.315 (North of Clifty Drive) to mile marker 11.132 (near KY 12/Dry Ridge Road) will begin preliminary work on Thursday, February 1.
The project includes improvements to the asphalt pavement, shoulder repairs, guardrail repairs/installations, and the construction of a retaining wall at mile point 9.46 (adjacent to Stoney Creek) for slope stabilization.
Alternating one-way traffic will be maintained through project completion, and motorists will be directed through the work zone via temporary signals. Drivers should heed the temporary signals, follow posted signs, and reduce speed when navigating through the work zone. Additionally, a 9-foot-wide lane will be maintained for traffic throughout the duration of the project.
Construction is scheduled to be completed by the fall of 2024. MAC Construction of New Albany, In. was awarded the $3.42 million project.
