Today, Gov. Andy Beshear urged every Kentuckian in 68 red zone counties to up their game in the fight against COVID-19 and follow nine recommendations beginning Monday, Nov. 2, through Sunday, Nov. 8, to reduce the spread of COVID-19 as cases flare in those areas.

“This is a type of outbreak where we can’t deny our way out of it, we can’t rationalize our way out of it, we can’t try to find excuses for not following the guidance,” said Gov. Beshear.

As crews work to continue construction on the Mountain Parkway through the autumn months, the team is preparing to begin construction on the final bridge being built in Morgan County before the segment will be completed in 2021.

Building bridges has been a primary component of the construction on the Morgan County segment, which includes 17 bridges total that have been constructed in the past four years. The team is currently working to tear down the existing KY 134-E bridge, and in the weeks to come, will begin to construct a new bridge in its place.
