Green Co travel: Bridge deck project starts over Green River

Green County's KY 88 corridor provides a critical connection from Green County toward the I 65 corridor. It is heavily utilized by commercial traffic.

A bridge deck overlay project on KY 88 in Green County begins now between the Hart County Line and Greensburg. A temporary signal was installed Wednesday to direct alternating one-way traffic across the bridge. The contractor has a 30-day window to complete the work. At the midway progress point of the project, traffic will be switched to the opposite side of the bridge.

Motorists are reminded Just as with any intersection which has a signal, emergency traffic has right of way even during a red light cycle when emergency lights are being utilized on an emergency vehicle.



Short delays of approximately 3-5 minutes can be expected, with slightly longer times during peak traffic hours.

The bridge is in a location where both approaches are coming downhill and there is normally a passing zone opportunity. Motorists who are familiar with the corridor should not anticipate a passing opportunity while the project is under construction.

The KY 88 corridor provides a critical connection from Green County toward the I 65 corridor. It is heavily utilized by commercial traffic. Approximately 2,400 vehicles per day travel through this section of KY 88 with about 14% of that number being truck traffic.
