Break repairs scheduled for KY 2021 in Perry County

Long delays at milepoint 1.7 Nov. 15-16; road closed at milepoint 2.2 Nov. 17

PERRY COUNTY, Ky. (WTVQ)  – Steel drilling to repair breaks in pavement on KY 2021 (Big Willard Road) in Perry County will impact travel on that route this week.

Work will begin Monday afternoon, Nov. 15, at milepoint 1.7, near the Wehrley Lane intersection. This work will continue on Tuesday, Nov. 16. Drivers should expect long delays at this location while work is ongoing.

On Wednesday, Nov. 17, work will move to milepoint 2.2, between Briar Fork Circle and Pomp Hollow roads. The road will be closed while those repairs are being made. No signed detour will be posted, but drivers can use KY 451 and Forked Mouth Branch Road to bypass the closure. That work is expected to take only one day to complete.

A soil nail project is planned to repair the break at milepoint 3.1, but arrangements are still being made for those repairs. Details involving traffic impacts will be announced when the plans are finalized.
