Street closures in downtown Frankfort

FRANKFORT, Ky. (WTVQ) – Kentucky Transportation Cabinet reports street closures in downtown Frankfort will be taking place until March 1st.

This is to help with the demolition of the Capital Plaza Complex and the Frankfort Convention Center.

The new space will be used for a new downtown office building and parking garage, according to KYTC.

The first phase of the elation started today and will go until March 1st. KYTC says during this phase Clinton Street will be closed between Wilkinson Boulevard and St. Clair Street.

To help with traffic flow, Clinton Street will be converted to 2-way traffic between the parking lot entrance to the John C. Watts Federal Building and High Street.
