KY 12 (Bagdad Road) Bridge Replacement Project in Shelby County
Preliminary work underway
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Aug. 26, 2024) – Preliminary work to replace the KY 12 (Bagdad Road) bridge over the RJ Corman Railroad in Shelby County is underway.
The project includes the demolition of the existing concrete bridge deck and beams followed by construction of a new deck and box beam structures. Built in 1976, the bridge serves about 700 vehicles a day at mile point 5.83 on KY 12 near the KY 1005 (Vigo Road) intersection. A restricted weight limit was lifted after a temporary repair. However, the existing condition of the structure necessitated the current replacement project.
Preliminary work, including patchwork and erosion control measures, has begun. A full 30-day closure of the existing bridge is expected to begin within the next month. Specific details regarding the upcoming closure will be shared prior to the start of construction. The bridge replacement project is expected to be completed this fall. Louisville Paving & Construction Company has been awarded a $597,000 contract to carry out the work.
Motorists should heed signage and use caution while traveling through the work zone.
