However, another bridge nearby will undergo a complete closure and replacement, resulting in yet another detour in the area.

The road will close at Whetstone Creek at mile point 2.2 and is expected to last 60 days, they said in a statement. The state transportation cabinet announced that the the new bridge on KY 70 will open before closing the bridge on KY 187, but nothing has been announced as of today, Weds, April 17th. The cabinet added that it's possible weather could delay the closing. "A signed detour using KY 70, KY 238, and KY 185 will be in place," the statement said. "Motorists should allow extra travel as the detour will distance to the commute."
