(Petersburg, Ky.) - Significant delays are likely this week on Interstate 275 in northern Kentucky.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 says crews will begin demolition of the existing Graves Road bridge over I-275 beginning at 8:00 p.m. Monday. The project is expected to run through Thursday, August 14.
The work will require 15-minute rolling roadblocks on I-275 eastbound and westbound each night between 8:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.. During the roadblocks, all lanes in both directions, as well as access to the interstate will be blocked.
At 8:00 p.m. each night, law enforcement will be in place on I-275 eastbound near the Carroll Cropper Bridge and will begin holding traffic in 15-minute increments. Law enforcement will also be in place at the Petersburg exit and will close the on-ramp to I-275.
Following the 15-minute closure on the eastbound side, a 15-minute closure will begin on the westbound lanes. Law enforcement will be in place at the Airport exit to begin holding traffic. The on-ramp at Hebron will be blocked.
The rolling roadblocks will continue on alternating sides of the interstate throughout the night.
All lanes are expected to be reopened by 6:00 a.m. the following morning.
