New bridge coming to Kelley Pike (KY 860) in Fleming County

Route will be closed for three weeks

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. – Construction will start next week on a $267,000 project to replace an aging bridge on Kelley Pike (KY 860) at Johnson Creek in Fleming County.

Contractors will remove the existing narrow span and install a new and wider culvert-style concrete bridge, which will require a temporary road closure.

Beginning Thursday, Oct. 22, Kelley Pike will be closed to all traffic at the construction site for approximately three weeks. A detour route will be marked along Junction Road (KY 170), Convict Pike (KY 559) and Helena Road (KY 1200).

The highway improvement project is part of $24.2 million in Transportation Cabinet contracts awarded recently in Department of Highways District 9.

Work on the project is expected to be complete by Nov. 30, weather permitting.
