Construction delays on the Western Bardstown Connector means a Nelson County road closure remains in effect.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says work on the Western Bardstown Bypass, which will connect U.S. 62 to KY 54 in Nelson County, has been progressing, but complications in utility relocation and other factors have delayed the anticipated reopening of Templin Avenue near the construction zone.
According to the KYTC, Templin Avenue was closed in the spring with a goal of having the road reopened in time for the start of the school year. Current contractor schedules now have Templin Avenue reopening around the first week of September.
Because of additional congestion that comes with school traffic, the KYTC is advising drivers of additional impacts to traffic around the construction zone. The KYTC said in a release: “Construction project impacts to traffic are often amplified with the beginning of a new school year but can subside as drivers and school personnel become more familiar to routine beyond the first few days.”
Drivers are encouraged to be patient, use extra caution, and pay close attention to work zone signage when traveling through work zones. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for project updates.
