With the start of a new year comes new updates to the roads in the NKY area.
Read on for the full list of road closures, changes and updates in Campbell, Boone and Kenton counties.
Campbell:
- I-471 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge: Starting Jan. 11, District 6 engineers will be conducting a bridge maintenance project where the left northbound lane will be closed from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Motorists should be alert and watch for engineers and equipment.
- U.S. 27 (0 – 1 mile-marker): A safety improvement project is in progress on U.S. 27. Construction will focus on three areas: the KY 177 intersection (17.1-17.5 marker) going northbound to just past KY 3162 (Lock Road) intersection, the Boss Dunaway Road intersection (19 milepost) in northern Pendleton County and the intersection of Plum Creek Church Road (1 milepost) in southern Campbell County.
Boone:
- KY 3076 (Mineola Pike) 0.0 – 0.9: Beginning Monday, Jan. 9, into Friday, Jan. 13, a widening and improvement project on KY 3076 (Mineola Pike) is in progress. The project will widen the road to five lanes and add a sidewalk on the southside of the road and a multiuse path on the northside. Two lanes of traffic will be maintained throughout the project.
- I-71/75 SB and NB (178 – 169.4 mile-marker): A resurfacing project is in progress on a six-mile section between Mt. Zion Rd (KY 536) interchange and the I-71/75 split in Walton, KY. In addition, an approximately three-mile section of I-75 will be repaved between the split and the Boone/Kenton County line.
- U.S. 42 Bridge (13.9 mile-marker) over I-71/75 (180 mile-marker): A project is in progress that will add a new westbound lane and pedestrian sidewalk. Both shoulders are closed within the project area for approximately one-quarter mile at the US 42 interchange on I-71/75 north and southbound. This project is estimated to be completed by May 2023.
- KY 536 (Mt Zion Road) Double Crossover Diamond (DCD) interchange: Construction is in progress between Tiburon Drive and US 25 (Dixie Highway). Construction will continue through 2023, weather permitting. With the new interchange open, crews will closely monitor the new traffic pattern and make adjustments to traffic signal timing to ensure traffic is moving efficiently through the new interchange. Even though the new travel pattern will be in place, this will still be a very active construction area with crews continuing to work on ongoing improvements.
- KY 338 (Richwood Road) Double Crossover Diamond (DCD) interchange and U.S. 25 Dixie Highway SPUI: Please be aware of occasional daily lane closures throughout the project area. Traffic will be maintained with flaggers when needed. This is an active work zone with construction vehicles entering and exiting the project area.
- Railroad crossing at Richwood Rd. and US 25 is permanently closed: During construction, traffic will cross the railroad tracks at the intersection of Shorland Dr./Winning Colors Dr., where traffic signals are operational and timed to help ease congestion and support traffic flow through the intersection. This closure is needed to allow for major intersection improvements at Richwood Rd. and US 25.
Kenton:
- KY 8 (0.00 – 2.00 mile-marker): Starting on Monday, Jan. 9, to Friday, Jan. 13, there will be a limited road closure on KY 8 starting at Amsterdam Road until mile marker 2. Crews will be working on a slide repair that will require a road closure from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Local traffic will have access and barriers will be removed during non-working hours.
- KY 3716 (Waymans Branch Road) 0.0 – 1.4 mile-marker: A project to replace culvert pipes and perform other maintenance on Waymans Branch Road (KY 3716) is in progress. The project area is between Hands Pike (KY 1501) and KY 16. A lane closure will be in place during daytime working hours, 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., with flaggers for traffic control on both ends of the work zone. Waymans Branch Road also is scheduled to be resurfaced in Spring 2023. This project has an expected completion date of Spring 2023.
- Texas Turnaround Project: The new travel pattern at Fourth St. and I-71/75 in Covington is open. In a Texas Turnaround, drivers bypass the two traffic signals and travel in a continuous movement from the left lane of a highway off-ramp through the intersection and back the opposite direction on the frontage road or highway ramp. The turnaround movement is free-flowing and does not enter the signalized intersection, so traffic accessing the highway can move efficiently.
- KY 1501 (Hands Pike): Construction on a new, two-lane road will realign Hands Pike from the KY 17 (Madison Pike) and KY 3035 (Old Madison Pike) intersection to Crystal Lake Drive is in progress. KY 3035 (Old KY 17) is closed to through traffic between KY 17 and KY 1501. Please use KY 17 to KY 1501 to KY 3035 as a detour. A right lane closure on KY 17, just south of KY 3035, is in place for the project. This project has an estimated completion date of late July 2023.
- KY 2373 (Bromley-Crescent Springs Road): 3.1 – 3.8 mile-marker is now complete.
