Routine Bridge Repairs on Clay Wade Bailey Bridge Beginning Monday, April 22
Project expected to be completed Nov. 1, 2024
COVINGTON, Ky. (April 19, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of routine bridge repairs on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge in Kenton County beginning Monday, April 22.
Crews will be working on the Clay Wade Bailey Bridge (U.S. 25, U.S. 42, U.S. 127) over the Ohio River between the intersection of KY 8 (W. 4th Street) (13.45 mile point) and the Kentucky/Ohio State Line (13.87 mile point), a distance of 0.42 miles.
The project will consist of replacing joints, sealing joints, repairing steel and approach/truss drainage repairs.
The contractor plans to utilize a single lane closure for the majority of the project. One lane of traffic will be maintained in each direction.
A ten-day closure of the bridge may be necessary to perform some of the work. This full closure would be permitted beginning on a Friday at 8 p.m. for a period of ten-days, and would reopen to traffic by the second Monday at 5 a.m.
The sidewalk will remain open to pedestrian traffic for the duration of construction; however, it may be closed for seven days to perform the required sidewalk repairs.
KYTC will advise motorists and pedestrians via press release and social media ahead of any lane, sidewalk or full bridge closure. Message boards will be in place to warn motorists of the upcoming work, and associated lane closures.
The $2,888,415.63 project was awarded to M&M Services of Mt. Sterling, KY. The project is expected to be completed Nov. 1, 2024.
The date, time, and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists can get Northern Kentucky road construction updates on the District 6 Roadshow.
