Iuka Road Reopens Friday

KY 453/Iuka Road in Livingston County is expected to reopen on Friday.

The road has been closed for an extended time for realignment of curves between Coons Chapel Road and Smithland.

Once Iuka Road reopens, work to install the permanent culvert on KY 937/Cutoff Road is expected to start after the last school bus run of the day.  

If all goes as planned, Cutoff Road is expected to reopen to traffic Saturday afternoon.  Engineers plan to replace a temporary culvert with a new permanent culvert just north of the Iuka Road intersection.

Cutoff Road normally carries about 1,400 vehicles a day.  With the added traffic from the Iuka Road detour, it has been carrying more than double that.
