Beam Setting Scheduled for Wolfe County Bridge

Crews will set beams next week for the east bound bridge over KY 2491, also known as Campton-Baptist Road or Baptist Fork Road. The work, scheduled for Feb. 22, will cause minor traffic delays, as one lane will be closed.

Flaggers will be in place as trucks hauling the new bridge beams enter and exit the work site. Drivers should slow down and use caution when traveling along this section of KY 2491.

Construction schedules may be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen events.

About the Mountain Parkway Expansion

The Mountain Parkway Expansion is a 45-mile transportation improvement project that will create a wider, safer connection between Eastern Kentucky and the rest of the Commonwealth. It is a key transportation project designed to close the only gap in a 400-mile, four-lane, high-speed corridor for commerce and mobility across Kentucky from Pikeville to Paducah.

The project will widen 32 miles of existing parkway to four lanes and extend the parkway by 13 miles between Salyersville to Prestonsburg.
