Temporary closure on KY 473/Gage Road in Ballard County starts Monda

KY 473/Gage Road in Ballard County will be temporarily blocked near mile point 7, south of Pines Lane, starting Monday as part of ongoing work for the new U.S. 60 realignment near Kevil.

The closure is expected to remain in place until Friday, Nov. 7. During this time, motorists should plan to self-detour.

Currently, traffic is using a temporary diversion route on KY 473/Gage Road, which will be removed during the closure.

When the road reopens, northbound traffic on Gage Road will travel on a portion of the new U.S. 60 and use a connector road to reach U.S. 60. Likewise, motorists seeking to head southbound on Gage Road will need to travel via U.S. 60 and the connector road to access the new U.S. 60 and then continue onto KY 473/Gage Road.

The existing KY 473/Gage Road south of Pines Lane will end and a cul-de-sac will be built.
