Work at Beechy Creek to start
A $1.6 million Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contract awarded recently to Frederick and May Construction Company will mean the replacement of two Ky. 7 bridges in Greenup County.
Contractors expect to begin work within the next two weeks to replace the bridge over the left fork of Beechy Creek, located on Ky. 7 approximately 2.5 miles north of the Ky. 827 intersection.
Motorists should expect lane closures with traffic controlled by flaggers this winter as earth work and blasting take place. Construction of the new bridge will take place adjacent to the existing bridge, which will be removed.
Beginning in June 2010, contractors expect to replace the bridge that spans Plum Fork. Work will require a temporary road closure and detour, which will be announced before construction.
The bridge replacements will improve travel and highway safety for local residents, businesses and schools.
During construction, motorists are asked to “Drive Smart” in work zones and remain aware of workers and construction equipment at all times.
