Daytime closures set for KY 15 in Powell County June 14-15

 

JACKSON, Ky. Drivers who use KY 15 (Campton Road/Slade Hill) in Powell County should plan to use an alternate route during daytime hours on Friday and Saturday, June 14-15.

The road will be closed between milepoints 0.2 (the intersection with Tunnel Ridge Road near the Wolfe County line) and 3.3 (the intersection with KY 11 at Slade) for an event sponsored by Backroads of Appalachia, which has secured a permit for the activity.

The road will be closed to all traffic between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. both days.

No signed detour will be posted, but drivers can use the Mountain Parkway between Exit 33 (Slade/Beattyville) and Exit 40 (Piine Ridge/Beattyville) as an alternate route while KY 15 is closed. Portable electronic message boards will be placed to notify drivers of the closure.

Approximately 525 vehicles use this section of KY 15 each day.
