Roadway to be closed for several days

PADUCAH, Ky. (Feb. 13, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has closed a section of KY 135/Carrsville Road immediately north of the Hampton community in Livingston County.

KY 135/Carrsville Road is closed at the 3.3 mile marker at the Bayou Creek Branch Bridge near Kenny Hardin Road.  This is along KY 135 between KY 838/Hampton Road and KY 1608/Maxfield Road.

During a routine inspection of the Bayou Creek Branch Bridge, a KYTC inspector found a void beneath the roadway at the end of the bridge structure.  The KYTC District 1 Bridge Crew has been sent to the site to evaluate the hole and develop a repair plan.  The bridge could be closed for several days, depending on what engineers find as they dig into the site.

There will be no marked detour.   However, motorists may self-detour via KY 1608/Maxfield Road, KY 763, and U.S. 60.  Local access will be maintained on each side of the bridge for property owners and school bus traffic.

KYTC District 1 will attempt to provide timely notice when repairs are completed and the roadway is able to reopen.
