COVINGTON, Ky. (July 3, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of a temporary road closure on River Road (KY 8) in Kenton County beginning Monday, July 8.

KYTC Kenton County maintenance crews will be replacing several culverts, and performing ditching between the Boone/Kenton County line (mile point 0.0) to Hayward Street (mile point 3.18) in Bromley. This work will improve drainage and increase safety for all road users.

Crews will close this section of River Road during the working hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. The road will reopen daily at 8 p.m. Weather permitting, this project is expected to be completed Friday, July 12. KYTC will advise if additional days are needed to complete the work.

Maintenance crews will be working in the project area of an ongoing resurfacing project on River Road/Pike Street. Additional lane closures may be in place for the resurfacing project with flaggers guiding traffic safely through the work zone. More information on the resurfacing project can be found in the District 6 Roadshow.

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. Follow KYTC District 6 on Facebook or Twitter.
