HICKMAN COUNTY KY. 780 TO CLOSE FOR BRIDGE DECK WORK BEGINNING OCT. 17

KY 780 to Close in Hickman County for Bridge Deck Work starting Monday, Oct 17

Closure to remain in place until further notice

PADUCAH, Ky. (October 13, 2022) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to close a section of KY 780 just south of Clinton in Hickman County starting on Monday, October 17, 2022.

This closure of KY 780 near the 3.8 mile marker is to allow decking to be replaced on the Bayou De Chien Bridge. This closure is along KY 780 between Martin Road and U.S. 51 - about halfway between U.S. 51 and the Canadian National Railroad crossing.

There will be no marked detour. No vehicles will be able to travel through this worksite. Motorists may self-detour via the KY 780 northern connection to U.S. 51.

The KYTC District 1 Bridge Crew may be able to provide an estimate on the length of this closure once they remove the old decking on the Bayou De Chien Bridge and determine the extent of repairs that are need. At this time, the closure will be in place until further notice.

KYTC District 1 will attempt to provide timely notice when the roadway is reopened to traffic.
