Motorists are advised to not only be mindful of the construction workers on site, but also the dust and debris that may cause visibility issues. Mountain Top News spoke with Public Information Officer Shantana Woodward to learn more. The bridge just, it's needed some repair on the median. A lot of times, you know, the median is one of the things that gets busted up first. So it's got some cracks and things, so we're working on it. We're going to replace the concrete there on the median. I want to tell people to be cautious because when we're working with concrete, there can be dust, concrete dust. And so when we're in there, busting all that up, sawing it up, things, there can be some visibility issues. So you want to make sure that you go slowly through there because sometimes when we are working with concrete, there can be dust particles. Other bridge repair and construction projects along US-23 are soon to follow once the median has been repaired. The Transportation Cabinet is planning to complete said projects by winter 2023. This is actually the first phase of some bridge repairs that we're doing all along US-23 in that area. We're going to start around Foggy Mountain and come on down towards the Shelby Valley area. We're working on just medians. We're going to be replacing some box drains, clearing those out things. Those are in the future. We're hoping to get those done before the end of the year. So this is really just phase one. We're working on the most needed item right now on that bridge on Sookies Creek. But in the future, don't be surprised if you see some more lane closures and you see our guys out there working on drains and different things. Reporting from Mountain Top News, I'm Nick Colum.
