KY 267 in Perry County to close for five-day maintenance work
Drivers on KY 267 in Perry County will lose the Sixteenmile Creek Road corridor for five days as state crews continue maintenance tied to a larger resurfacing project.
Perry County drivers who rely on KY 267 will face a five-day shutdown of the road from June 22 through June 26 as the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet moves ahead with maintenance on the Sixteenmile Creek Road and Harveytown Road corridor. The state-maintained route will be closed while crews work along a stretch that has already seen repeated repairs and drainage work.
KY 267 is one of the key state roads in Perry County and is handled through Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 10, whose office in Jackson oversees highways in Perry County and nine other east-central and southeastern Kentucky counties. The cabinet said the closure is scheduled for maintenance, adding another interruption to a road that has already been the focus of earlier short-term work orders.
That history includes a two-day closure on Sept. 23 and 24 to install a new drainage structure and another on April 21 and 22 to repair a break in pavement. Those projects show the corridor has needed more than one kind of fix, from drainage to pavement repair, and the June work appears to fall into the same broader maintenance pattern.
The route is also part of a resurfacing project already on the cabinet’s books. One Perry County proposal lists Sixteenmile Creek Road, KY 267, for asphalt resurfacing with a primary completion date of June 30, 2026. A separate bid notice described the work as a 4.41-mile segment beginning at Harveyton Road and extending north to KY 2446.
For people in the Harveytown area and elsewhere along the corridor, the closure will affect daily travel in the middle of the week and into the weekend, including trips that normally cut across the road for work, school runs, deliveries and local access. Because KY 267 is a state route, the closure will also matter to drivers who use it as a connector between smaller Perry County roads and the larger county highway network.
State officials posted the notice through District 10, which is based in Jackson and handles maintenance and construction across Perry County and the surrounding region. The five-day closure now places KY 267 back in the center of the county’s roadwork map as resurfacing and repair efforts continue.
