TRAFFIC: Millers Creek Road closed March 8

JACKSON, Ky. (WTVQ) – KY 151 (Millers Creek Road/River Road) in Estill County is due to close on Tuesday, March 8, says Kentucky Department of Highways.

The road will be closed between mile markers 1 and 2, so they can install drainage structures, to remove the large pools of water that form on the roadway during storms.

This section of the road runs directly between the CSX Transportation railroad line and the Kentucky River.

The Department of Highways says the work will begin around 8:30 a.m. and will continue until around 4 p.m. During that time, the road will be closed to all through traffic.

Drivers can use KY52 as a detour, but no detour will be marked on roadsides.
