Hager Hill, KY (WMDJ) - After being closed for a week, the bridge on KY 321 in the Hager Hill area of Johnson County, will be reopened to some traffic.
Officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for District 12 released a statement on social media stating that the bridge will be reopened to limited traffic on October 15th.
The bridge will reopen with a 10-ton weight limit as engineers plan long-term repairs. Drivers of heavier vehicles should detour via U.S. 23, KY 1107, or other alternate routes.
The bridge was closed on October 7 after inspectors found deterioration in the substructure. A closer review determined that the interior pier supports remain stable, and only the outer concrete around the pier caps needs repair—making it possible to reopen the bridge to limited traffic while repairs are developed.
KYTC engineers will continue to monitor and inspect the bridge to ensure it stays safe for travel. Motorists are urged to obey all posted weight limits and signs while work continues.
