PIKEVILLE, Ky. (Nov. 10, 2025) –The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s District 12 office advises motorists that a temporary closure will be necessary along KY 3400 in Letcher County for two days as contract crews perform drilling work.
Blue Rock Construction will drill at a break site located near mile point 0.5 on KY 3400, between Chevy Drive and Zephyr Drive, near the Fish Pond area. The work is scheduled for Wednesday and Thursday, November 12–13, from 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. each day.
Due to the narrow width of the roadway, traffic will not be able to pass while the drill is in operation. Motorists can use the detour routes from both ends of KY 3400 that loop back out to US 119.
Drivers are reminded to plan for additional travel time and to use caution when approaching the work zone area. All work is dependent on favorable weather conditions.
