TRAFFIC ADVISORY: KY 12 (Bagdad Road) Bridge Replacement Project Beginning Friday, Oct. 11, in Shelby County
Work will necessitate a full 30-day closure of the bridge
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Oct. 4, 2024) – Work to replace the KY 12 (Bagdad Road) bridge over the RJ Corman Railroad in Shelby County will begin Friday, Oct. 11, requiring a full 30-day closure of the bridge.
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.
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 follow posted detours around the affected area.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
