Mayking Bridge Detour
KENTUCKY...
On Monday, state contractors will resume work on the US 119 bridge at Mayking. The bridge will be reduced to one lane, with a concrete barrier wall and temporary traffic signals, until some time in January. In addition, a section of KY3410, which runs underneath the bridge, will be closed during the same time.
What started as a routine bridge deck overlay has changed to a complete
superstructure replacement. When state inspectors analyzed the Mayking bridge deck after asphalt was removed, they discovered that deterioration of the structure was much worse than it appeared when the deck overlay was approved.
At the same time, KY 3410, which runs under the bridge will also be closed. Motorists can take a short detour on KY 1862, which can be used as an alternate route from either end.
