Road closure in Fulton extended to January

A long-term road closure in Fulton has been extended into January.

The extension came after a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crew discovered a water line running through the site on KY 1718/Fourth Street in Fulton.

Fourth Street remains closed between Mears Street and Carr Street in downtown Fulton, as a crew from the Kentucky Transportation cabinet is replacing the Harris Fork Branch culvert.

Work began on removing the culvert in October, but the KYTC crew discovered the water line. To complete the project it became necessary to move the line. Materials were ordered by the City of Fulton, but a delay in delivery of four to five weeks, plus the extra three weeks of work to move the line forced the completion date to be pushed back.

The new target for completion is January 15th, 2023.
