ORIGINAL POST:👷Pothole Repair Project Moves to Shaw Road (KY 536) in Kenton County👷

Our KYTC Kenton County maintenance crew has been hard at work improving conditions on Bristow Road and Independence Road over the past two weeks. Now it's on to the next section of KY 536 -- Shaw Road!

On Monday, June 15, we'll be closing Shaw Road between Independence Road at the bottom of the hill, and Delaware Crossing. This daily closure to thru traffic will take place between 7 a.m. and 6 p.m. Homeowners will still be able to access their homes during working hours. The road is expected to reopen daily by 6 p.m.

🚗To get around this... you'll need to take Bristow Road, to Independence Road (KY 2045), to Madison Pike (KY 17X), down to Shaw Road and back on to Madison Pike (KY 17).

Weather permitting, this work should be completed by Wednesday, June 17 at 6 p.m. Once completed, we'll continue shifting east between Delaware Crossing and Madison Pike. We'll let ya know once that portion of work is scheduled!
