(KBSI) A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to close KY 339 at mile point 35.17 in Graves County starting Thursday, Dec. 4, to begin work on a bridge replacement project.
The bridge over Brush Creek is located between western and eastern sections of Shaw Road. This is along KY 339 between Lowes and Melber.
The existing structure is expected to be demolished starting Friday. Weather permitting, the project is estimated to be completed in the spring.
Motorists are asked to self-detour.
Approximately 304 vehicles travel this section of KY 339 in an average day.
Work to construct a roundabout at the intersection of Route BB and Route Y in Sikeston, Missouri will begin Monday, Dec. 15, weather permitting.
During the first phase, Route BB will be closed south of Route Y, and Route Y will be reduced to one lane with 12-foot width restriction. Temporary traffic signals will be utilized for traffic control, and a signed detour will be in place for Route BB traffic during the closure. Completion of the first phase is anticipated Sunday, March 22, 2026, weather permitting.
Construction will then shift to complete the north side of the new roundabout. Completion of the project in entirety is anticipated in May 2026.
The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
