Rogersville Road Bridge Work Begins Today — Expect Delays

Radcliff, KY · July 15, 2026

Wednesday is looking bright, though you'll want to leave a few minutes early if your commute takes you across the north side of town. The orange barrels are officially moving into place for the bridge project starting this morning.

📰 The Lead

Construction crews are mobilizing today for the long-awaited rehabilitation of the Rogersville Road bridge. The project, which was finalized in last month’s budget session, aims to address structural wear and improve drainage along this key artery. For the next three weeks, traffic will be reduced to a single lane with temporary signals managing the flow of vehicles. While the city considered a full closure to speed up the timeline, officials opted for the lane-restriction model to keep neighborhood access open for residents. If you usually use this route to reach the Joe Prather Highway, consider detouring through West Vine Street to avoid the bottleneck. Work is expected to wrap up by the first week of August, just in time for the back-to-school rush.
