(KBSI) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is planning a temporary closure on eastbound U.S. 60/U.S. 62 near mile point 19.2 in McCracken County on Wednesday, Nov. 19.
Crews will be inspecting the railroad overpass bridge near Pugh Road, which will require closing both eastbound lanes.
The closure is scheduled from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. During this time, eastbound traffic will be reduced to one lane as it approaches the closure and directed to the turnaround to re-enter U.S. 60/62 westbound.
Advanced message boards will be placed on U.S. 60/Irvin Cobb Drive, KY 1954/John Puryear Drive, and U.S. 60-Business/Wayne Sullivan Drive to alert motorists of the closure.
Route 53 in Butler County will be reduced to one lane with a 12-foot width restriction as Missouri Department of Transportation crews perform bridge maintenance over the Black River.
This section of roadway is located from County Road 647 to County Road 202 near Qulin, Missouri.
Weather permitting, work will take place Tuesday, Nov. 4 through Thursday, Nov. 6 from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. daily.
The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
