Lane and width restrictions are now in effect on KY 36 in Frenchburg in Menifee County as a bridge replacement project begins.
Temporary signals are in place to control traffic at the bridge crossing Beaver Creek at milepoint 6.1. These temporary signals will be in use until sometime next spring as the project proceeds.
During the project, the route will be restricted to vehicles less than 8 feet wide. Vehicles wider than 8 feet will need to find an alternate route around the project.
Overwidth vehicles can use I-64 to US 60 at Exit 113, then KY 686 and US 460 through Montgomery County as a detour route.
Drivers should slow down as they approach this construction zone, watch for stopped traffic and obey the temporary traffic signals. Motorists should be aware of workers, traffic control devices and construction equipment when traveling in this and other areas where projects are ongoing.
