Work is progressing on the Kentucky Route 1357/Saint John Road project that is addressing safety, deficiencies, and maintenance issues on the road between the U.S. 31W Bypass and Ring Road.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie says crews will begin work Monday on a large culvert replacement that will require new traffic restrictions.
“We just need everybody to know back through the Croghan Drive neighborhood there that streets like Vanderbilt Drive, Winmoor Drive, Timber Lane, Reelfoot Drive, and Turtle Creek Drive, you’re all going to have to drive out to Harvard Drive in order to access Saint John Road there for the next 30 days,” Jessie said.
Message boards were previously placed to alert residents to the restrictions.
“So as part of the Saint John Road project back through there, this is all a huge culvert that’s being rebuilt,” Jessie said. “It’s gonna take the contractor about 30 days to get that done. They have until that point to get the roadway back open and the connection there to Croghan Drive remade.”
The KYTC began the Saint John Road improvement project to address the change in conditions for the roadway that came with the transition of the area from a rural to suburban setting. Any updates to the construction plan will be posted to KYTC District Four social media.
