Bridge closure set for Monday in Middlesboro

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to have a bridge closure on the 17th Street bridge over Yellow Creek in Middlesboro on June 17 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.

The bridge closure is necessary to allow crews to perform a bridge inspection.

Motorists are advised to use caution during this period and be aware of signage, road crews and other drivers. The work is dependent on weather conditions.

The date, time, and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
