A bridge replacement project on Licking Pike will begin on Monday, March 4.
The project will remove the existing bridge deck and beams and then set up new beams and a deck.
The Scaffold Creek crossing (2.67 mile point) will close to traffic on Monday, March 4, and remain closed for 50 days while contractors install the new structure. Drivers can use U.S. 27, Tollgate Road, and W Main Street to access Licking Pike until reaching the work zone.
Once the new bridge is complete, crews will remove the detour and open the crossing to traffic while completing other tasks throughout the project area.
The $365,381 project was awarded to Hinkle Construction Services LLC of Paris, KY. The project has a completion date of July 31, 2024, but the work date, time and duration may be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen delays.Â
