NEW CONCORD – Weather permitting, a long-term lane restriction is scheduled to start on Thursday, Oct. 23 on KY 121 at mile point 5.25 in Calloway County, as a contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) begins work on a bridge replacement project.
The bridge over Blood River, located half a mile west of KY 444/Dunbar Road at New Concord, will be replaced in two phases: eastbound and westbound.
Before demolition of the first half begins, crews will install temporary railing and barrier wall, along with a temporary traffic signal to control alternating one-lane traffic.
A lane restriction will remain in place for the duration of the project, which is expected to continue through mid-October 2026.
Motorists are urged to use caution in the work zone.
