Repairs are underway on KY 52 Kentucky River bridge in Irvine
Repairs were scheduled to begin Monday, Oct. 3, on the bridge carrying KY 52 over the Kentucky River in Irvine.
A $246,892.67 contract was recently awarded to replace the concrete curbs on the bridge.
Drivers should expect lane closures during overnight hours (8 p.m. to 6 a.m.) while the project is ongoing. One-lane traffic will be maintained on the bridge, controlled by temporary traffic signals, while the work is in progress. Normal two-way traffic is expected to be maintained during daytime hours.
Motorists who wish to avoid delays can use KY 89 (Winchester Road) and KY 499 (Joseph Proctor Bypass) as an alternate route. However, drivers who choose this detour will experience construction on KY 89 north of Irvine.
The bridge work is expected to take five weeks to complete, meaning it should be done by the first week of November. If the project is not finished by Nov. 15, the contractor is liable for liquidated damages.
