A project to replace five bridges along the U.S. 79 corridor in Logan and Todd counties will create lane closures beginning next week.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the lane closures will be in place on U.S. 79 in Logan County from mile point 3 to roughly mile point 5 located between KY 1151 and Tillet Lane. A width restriction of 10 feet will also be in place.
The lane closures with width restriction are expected to begin Monday and last through mid-summer. Motorists should use appropriate caution while traveling in the area.
The overall project consists of replacing five aging bridges with new upgraded structures to meet the demands of traffic needs along with U.S. 79 corridor in Logan and Todd counties. The five bridges include the two in Logan County and the three bridges in Todd County being replaced are at Elk Fork Creek, at the CSX Railroad track at mile point 2 and the realignment of KY 346.
The entire project is expected to be completed by the end of the year
