⚠Temporary Road Closure on Portion of E. Alexandria Pike (KY 2925) in Campbell County⚠

The closure is in place south of Cabin Creek Drive between the 0.4 and 0.6 mile points due to a slide. Our KYTC maintenance crews plan to be out tomorrow (Tuesday, March 10), to install temporary traffic signals on each side of the closure. These traffic signals will allow for a single lane to get by the slide area. Once installed, these temporary traffic signals will remain in place until further notice.

KYTC is evaluating the slide repairs and will announce a repair plan at a later date.

— The Campbell County Office of Emergency Management (OEM) has taken delivery of a new Polaris Ranger utility vehicle, purchased through funding provided by the Kentucky State Rescue Aid Grant program.
The new Polaris Ranger will significantly enhance the county’s emergency response and Land Search and Rescue (LandSAR) capabilities by improving access to remote, rugged, and hard-to-reach areas. The vehicle will be used for a variety of missions, including search and rescue operations, disaster response, flood and storm damage assessment, missing person searches, and support for special events and training exercises.
“This vehicle fills a critical capability gap for us,” said William R. Turner, Director of the Campbell County Office of Emergency Management. “The Polaris Ranger allows our responders to quickly and safely reach areas that traditional emergency vehicles simply cannot access, especially during severe weather events or in remote terrain.”
The State Rescue Aid Grant program provides financial assistance to local rescue agencies across the Commonwealth to support the purchase of essential equipment, training, and resources needed to protect life and property. Campbell County OEM continues to leverage this program to strengthen local response capabilities while maximizing the responsible use of public funds.
The Polaris Ranger will be assigned to Campbell County’s Land Search and Rescue program and will be available to support operations throughout the county and, when requested, to assist neighboring jurisdictions.
Campbell County OEM would like to thank the Kentucky Department of Emergency Management and the Kentucky Division of Rescue for their continued support of local rescue agencies and emergency management programs.
For more information about Campbell County OEM or the Land Search and Rescue program, please contact the Campbell County Office of Emergency Management.
