Intersection in downtown Russellville set for temporary closure

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet states a road intersection will be closed in downtown Russellville starting May 31.

A pavement and sidewalk improvement project will temporarily close the KY 3240 9th Street intersection with Main Street. The closure is expected to begin to reopen June 10.

Drivers should seek an alternate route during this time.

The transportation cabinet states the closure is necessary so crews can upgrade the current pavement structure and construct new sidewalk ramps.

Once construction is complete, crews will work on similar improvements to the KY 3240 and KY 2146 intersections. That intersection will remain open with only lane closures in place.
