FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. – Motorists should expect delays on KY 986 in Olive Hill as contractors make repairs to the Tygarts Creek bridge over the next four to six weeks.
Beginning Monday, March 25, the KY 986 bridge will be restricted to one lane controlled by temporary traffic signals as crews perform a restoration project. Motorists should expect delays.
Work includes replacing joints and installing a latex concrete overlay on the driving surface.
The project is being done by M&M Services under a $1,859,501.40 low-bid Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contract, which also includes painting later this summer and similar work to the KY 7 bridge over the Little Sandy River at Grayson. The KY 7 portion of the project is expected to start in the next few weeks.
Motorists are urged to drive carefully during the road improvement project by slowing down, reducing distractions, and heeding all flaggers and warning signs. Road work schedules are subject to change depending on weather conditions.
