KY 187 in Edmonson County Set for Long-term Closure for Bridge Replacement Project

The closure will be at Whetstone Creek for 60 days

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (April 16, 2024) – A project to replace a bridge on KY 187 Sunfish Road in Edmonson County is expected to create a long-term closure beginning later this week. The road will close at Whetstone Creek at mile point 2.2 on Thursday, April 18. The closure is expected to last 60 days. The contractor is opening the new bridge on KY 70, before closing the bridge on KY 187. It is possible weather could delay the closing.

A signed detour using KY 70, KY 238, and KY 185 will be in place. Motorists should allow extra travel as the detour will distance to the commute. The closure is necessary so the bridge over Whetstone Creek can be replaced.
