LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Nov. 6, 2026) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of the opening of a new bridge on KY 12 (Flat Creek Road) on Tuesday, Nov. 10, in Franklin County.

A new bridge, along with a new roadway approach and alignment, will open on KY 12 (Flat Creek Road) at mile point 12.46 (near the Franklin/Henry County line) over Flat Creek on Tuesday, Nov. 10. Traffic will switch from the existing bridge to the new one. The new alignment and bridge are positioned just east of the old bridge.

Motorists should use caution and follow traffic control devices. Following the conclusion of moving traffic to the new bridge, the existing bridge approach and bridge will be demolished.
