Isom bridge to open Friday




An Isom bridge will remain closed to traffic until late Friday afternoon until repairs are completed, according to a press release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

The bridge, located on KY 15 at Isom in front of Breeding’s Plumbing and Electric, is being closed in order for state highway District 12 maintenance specialists to repair potholes on the bridge deck. The bridge will be closed 24 hours a day until repair work is finished. All traffic should detour using old KY 15. Denny Thornsberry, D-12 bridge crew superintendent, said it is possible that the work could be completed before Friday afternoon.

“A lot depends on the weather,” Thornsberry said. “We want to thank everyone up front for their understanding and their patience. The repairs will make the bridge safer and the ride across it much smoother.”
