Closure on KY 402 at 9.9mm in Marshall County for Bridge Inspection on Tuesday, June 18

Roadway closed from 8 a.m., to 4 p.m., CDT

PADUCAH, Ky. (June 14, 2024)  The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to close a section of KY 402 between Hardin and Aurora in Marshall County on Tuesday, June 18, 2024.

KY 402 (Aurora Highway) will be closed at mile point 9.9 to allow an inspection of the Clarks River Bridge.  Due to limited space on the bridge deck, the roadway will be closed to allow the inspection team to complete their work in one day.

The roadway is expected to close promptly at 8 a.m., CDT, Tuesday.  KY 402 is expected to reopen around 4 p.m., Tuesday.

The closure is along KY 402 between Old Hardin-Olive Lane and KY 982 (Old Olive Road), a little less than 2 miles west of the U.S. 641 intersection at Hardin.

Motorists should be watching for portable message boards alerting them of the closure.

There will be no marked detour.

This inspection of the Clarks River Bridge is scheduled on a weather-permitting basis.

KYTC District 1 will attempt to provide timely notice should the roadway reopen earlier than expected.
