Kentucky River Closure at High Bridge

​​​​​​Kentucky River traffic closures at High Bridge

​​A scheduled railroad maintenance project on High Bridge near Wilmore in Jessamine County will require periodic closures of the Kentucky River to all passing traffic on select weekdays this month.

​​The work is scheduled from 6 a.m. (ET) until 2 p.m. on the following dates:

• Aug. 14-17
• Aug. 21-24
• Aug. 28-31

Norfolk Southern, which maintains the tracks, is coordinating with the Kentucky Department of Fish and Wildlife Resources to expedite the project and keep the river open as much as possible during its busiest times, Friday to Sunday.

​​Boaters wishing to access the Dix River tailwaters during the river closure times will need to utilize the Camp Nelson boat ramp located in Garrard County below US27. There is a $5 launch fee at this ramp.​​​​
