JACKSON, Ky. – Drivers who use KY 587 (Farmers Ridge) near Delvinta in Lee County should prepare to use an alternate route for three days next week.

The road will be closed Tuesday, July 22 through Thursday, July 24, at milepoint 6.3 for replacement of a large drainage structure. The closure will be in effect 24 hours a day until the work is complete.
