FULTON'S FAIRVIEW AVENUE CLOSED BY KENTUCKY TRANSPORTATION CABINET

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has ordered Fairview Avenue in the City of Fulton closed as a public safety precaution following an engineering analysis of the Harris Fork Branch Culvert.

Fairview Avenue (City Street 2075) is closed at the Harris Fork Branch Culvert between 5th Street and KY 1718/6th Street due to insufficient fill over the culvert.

During a statewide load-rating analysis of select steel culverts, Transportation Cabinet bridge preservation engineers determined the closure was necessary.

The KYTC engineers are working on plans to repair, replace, or make appropriate improvements to the culvert as soon as possible. Meanwhile, Fairview Avenue will remain closed at the Harris Fork Branch Culvert.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is responsible for inspecting all bridges on public roads and streets statewide.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will attempt to provide timely updates
