Traffic Advisory: Emergency Slide Repairs on KY 2 in Greenup County Continue Through May 15


Weather delays keep roadway closedFLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (May 8, 2020) – Weather delays will keep KY 2 in Greenup County closed for another week as crews continue emergency slide repairs just east of the Little Sandy River bridge.

The roadway remains closed at milepoint 13.8 between Tortoise Street and Lea Acres Road. Crews expect it will take until Friday, May 15, to complete excavation and rebuilding the section of KY 2 there that’s slipping away with the embankment.

All thru traffic on KY 2 should detour using KY 3307 (Whetstone) or KY 1 to KY 1459, or seek alternate routes. Traffic should note that a previous slide on KY 1459 has created one-lane traffic along a portion of that highway. Repairs are pending.

All road work subject to change depending on weather conditions. Motorists are asked to heed all warning signs, slow down in work zones and remain aware of workers and construction equipment when traveling.
