GALLATIN & CARROLL COUNTIES
-
Interstate 71 – 52.77 – 57.36 mile points – A widening project aimed at reducing congestion and improving safety on I-71 in Carroll and Gallatin counties is in progress. The project will widen I-71 from its configuration of two lanes in each direction, to three lanes.
A shoulder has been paved to temporarily accommodate traffic during this phase of the construction project. Most of the work is currently taking place in the median behind barrier wall.
This widening project includes a bridge replacement over KY 47. The current bridges will be replaced with a new, single span bridge matching the median widening throughout the project area.
Beginning at 7 a.m. on Monday, June 9, bridge work is scheduled to take place. This work will require 15 minute closures (as needed) on KY 47 between Walnut Valley Road and KY 465 (the I-71 underpass). Closures will be limited to 15 minutes and all traffic will be let through before the next closure begins. This work is expected to take 1 day, but traffic impacts could linger into Tuesday, June 10.
The speed limit in the work zone is now reduced to 55 MPH, and law enforcement will be on-site to ensure compliance. Please, drive carefully throughout the work zone. Weather permitting, the overall project is expected to be completed Nov. 1, 2026.
