Repairs to KY-825 in Johnson County scheduled for August 20th

JOHNSON COUNTY, Ky. (WSIP) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 12 advises motorists of an upcoming temporary road closure on KY 825 in Johnson County for roadway repairs.

Beginning at 7:30 a.m. Thursday, Aug. 20, crews will close KY 825 between U.S. 460 and KY 40 (milepoint 1.3) to dig across the roadway to make repairs to the underlying road bed. Once work is complete, KY 825 will reopen, expected by 3 p.m. During the temporary closure, traffic may reroute using KY 580 (Caudill Fork).

If there is inclement weather, the work and road closure will be rescheduled for the next day, Friday, Aug. 21, or when weather allows.

Advance warning signs will be installed prior to the closure, and barricades and barrels will be in place at the work site to direct traffic.

KYTC reminds motorists to slow down, obey all posted signs, and avoid the work area if possible. While crews will work to complete the replacement as quickly as possible, the schedule is weather dependent and may change if conditions warrant.
