The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will temporarily close part of US 60 east in Rowan County on Tuesday, June 1, for nearly two weeks to replace a deep culvert under the highway.
Beginning June 1 and continuing through June 12, contractors will close US 60 just west of Glenwood Hollow Road (about a mile from the county line at milepoint 16.22) to excavate the highway, remove a deteriorated concrete culvert, pour concrete to build a new culvert, then backfill and rebuild the road.
Contractors will work to reopen the road as quickly as possible, but due to the culvert’s depth and the time required for excavation and concrete curing, US 60 could remain closed for up to 12 days.
Get ready: Huge Rombach project begins next week
Submitted article
WILMINGTON – The long-anticipated improvements along the Rombach Avenue corridor will be underway next week, with lane closures beginning the evening of Thursday, June 3, the City of Wilmington announced.
The Rombach Avenue Improvements Project is nearly three miles long. The project begins at the intersection of Fife Avenue and Rombach Avenue and terminates at the eastern corporation limit at Starbuck Road. Improvements to East Side Drive are part of the project as well.
The project was originally slated for last year, but COVID-19 resulted in its postponement to 2021.
The construction is planned in multiple phases. The first phase of the project includes water main construction, minor storm sewer repairs, construction of a shared-use path, pavement repair, improvements to the turn radius at Lowe’s Drive, loon (traffic turnaround) construction at the intersection of Progress Way, and signal work.

Revision saves historical barn, possibly other relics

A new proposed plan to improve the intersection at state Route 315 and Jewett Road in Liberty Township would preserve some historical property that had been threatened by earlier designs.
The Ohio Department of Transportation unveiled the plan in a public meeting held virtually May 6.
The plan calls for a traffic signal and left-turn lane from northbound Route 315 at the intersection. A design shared last fall called for a roundabout that would have required the removal of a historical barn near the southwest corner of the intersection.
“It would appear ODOT listened to the various opinions and information and revisited the project design,” Mark Rush, who lives on Route 315 just south of the intersection, told ThisWeek. “I’m pleased it didn’t fall on deaf ears.”
