New Bridge Project in Johnson County to Begin Monday, July 16, 2018

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is building a new bridge on KY 40 over Little Paint Creek less than half a mile from the Johnson/Magoffin County line near Oil Springs. The new bridge will replace the current structure. A one-lane detour will be built as part of the project. Traffic will be directed using temporary traffic signals. After traffic is on the detour, the current bridge will be demolished. The contractor, Frederick and May Construction of West Liberty, will have 80 working days from the start date of Monday, July 16, 2018 to complete the project.
