BOONE COUNTY:
-
Richardson Road (KY 842) - 0.12 mile point - The bridge east of Dixie Highway (U.S. 25) on Richardson Road at the 0.12 mile point now has a weight limit reduction of three tons. While the bridge remains safe for vehicular traffic, a recent inspection found some deterioration. KYTC bridge engineering analysis shows the weight limit reduction is needed as a precaution, and to prevent further damage until the bridge can be repaired. KYTC is working with the railroad company to coordinate a repair plan. We will provide updates once the bridge repair plan has been scheduled. Prohibited vehicles can detour using Industrial Road (KY 1829) or Mt. Zion Road (KY 536).

U.S. 42 -- 13.03 - 13.91 mile point -- A resurfacing project on U.S. 42 is now underway. Crews will be working on U.S. 42 just west of Evergreen Drive to east of the concrete pavement at the I-71/75 ramps. The project includes resurfacing, sidewalk ramp improvements, thermoplastic striping, and upgraded traffic controllers and detectors to improve traffic flow and ease congestion on a high traffic corridor.
The project began on Sunday, May 4 with crews beginning work on sidewalk ramps to improve accessibility. Milling and paving operations have not yet been scheduled. KYTC District 6 will advise on social media once these operations have been scheduled.
Crews will be primarily working on this project during evening/overnight hours to mitigate traffic disruptions. Crews will work on Sunday nights from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. On Monday through Friday nights, crews will work from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m.
Motorists should expect an overnight single lane closure in various areas during the sidewalk improvement portion of the project. Once milling/paving operations have begun, motorists should expect multiple lane closures throughout the project area during working hours. One lane of traffic will be maintained at all times. All lanes will reopen by 6 a.m.
The project is expected to be completed by June 30, 2025.
