Project expected to take approximately three months; signed detour posted
POWELL COUNTY, Ky. – Drivers who use KY 613 (Little North Fork Road) near Bowen in Powell County will need to find an alternate route beginning Monday, May 11. The road will be closed between KY 11/KY 15 and the Red River bridge for up to three months for correction of flooding issues along the low-lying section of highway between mile points 0.0 and 0.363.
A signed detour involving KY 11/KY 15, KY 1184, KY 615 and KY 599 through Rosslyn will be posted.
This segment of KY 613 is prone to flooding. This project will raise the height of the roadbed to help alleviate flooding issues which frequently cause the road to be closed. The work is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 1.
Fewer than 425 vehicles use this section of KY 613 each day.
