An update from KYTC District 3:

Great news for those that travel on KY 185. Thanks to a break in the rain crews have been able to work this morning. It is expected for motorists to be switched to the alignment by this afternoon if the weather holds.

🚧 Traffic on KY 185 in northern Warren County is expected to shift to the new roadway alignment later this week as the project enters its final stages.

Once traffic moves, access from Pruitt Road to KY 185 will temporarily close, with a signed detour in place via Lodge Hall Road. Drivers should watch for message boards and allow extra travel time.

The 1.8-mile realignment project includes wider lanes and shoulders, plus a new southbound passing lane to improve safety and traffic flow. Additional safety upgrades between KY 1320 and Jack Simmons Road are also underway.

Both projects are expected to wrap up later this summer.

Today, Richardsville firefighters engaged in a SFI Foundation Drag Race Incident Response training. Instructor Mike Washington, retired from FDNY Rescue 4, held the class for our department and discussed several topics related to motorsports incidents. This included extrication, fire control with Methanol and racing fuel, and patient care. This was great training for our members. With Beech Bend Raceway located within our district, we must always be prepared in case an incident occurs. Thank you to instructor Mike Washington for this class!
