KY 1357 Closure During Pipe Replacement To Start Tuesday

A maintenance project along KY-1357 will require a multi-day closure. A large pipe under the roadway at the 4900 block of Saint John Road is scheduled to start on Tuesday morning and could last three days. “Traffic is always a major part of the puzzle when it comes to putting together a project and the plan for implementing one this week, obviously it’s spring break week. So it’s simply a lower volume of traffic factor and that’s good for everyone when it comes to having to close a road. It does benefit the school, certainly and school bus routes as well, but generally just because of lower volumes of traffic. That’s why it’s being scheduled this week,” said Transportation Cabinet spokesperson Chris Jessie. Detour signage will be posted to aid motorists around the closure. Unfavorable weather could affect the project schedule.
