Northbound Pike Street ramp in Covington to undergo nightly closure commencing on Monday
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has announced an upcoming overnight closure of the Pike Street ramp to Interstate 71/75 northbound in Covington for a sanitary sewer repair project. The closure is scheduled to begin on Monday night, July 21, and is expected to last approximately two weeks, ending on Monday, Aug. 4, at 5 a.m., weather permitting.
During the nightly closures, from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., motorists will be detoured from Pike Street to Main Street, then to Fourth Street. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead for the upcoming overnight closures and expect minor delays during these hours.
For those seeking detour information related to the sanitary sewer repairs, it might be helpful to check the KYTC website or contact them directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information on any planned detours. In nearby areas, detours for I-71/75 involve using interchanges like Richwood Road (KY 338) for navigating around various ramp closures. However, specific detours for the Pike Street ramp during this repair would need to be confirmed through official channels.
Motorists will utilize the Texas Turnaround to merge onto I-71/75 northbound during the closure. Meanwhile, those looking to access I-71/75 southbound can use the Fourth Street on-ramp. It is important to note that all lanes will remain open during daytime hours.
The KYTC is providing this information and will share updates on schedule changes via the District 6 Roadshow. Motorists are advised to follow posted detour signs during the closures.
For those who may be affected by this closure, it is recommended to plan alternative routes or allow extra travel time to accommodate the overnight closures. Stay informed and drive safely!
