West Rivercenter Boulevard will be closed to through traffic just west of the Northern Kentucky Convention Center starting Wednesday, May 29, until approximately July 1. Pedestrian access will also be partially affected.
Bray Construction Services will set up detour signs and an electronic message board to help drivers navigate the area. The closure is related to ongoing work to install streets, sidewalks, utilities, and other public infrastructure on the 23-acre site of the former IRS processing facility. Covington is building the new Covington Central Riverfront mixed-use neighborhood at this location. The street closure pertains specifically to the installation of an underground water main and separated sewer and stormwater lines.
The timing of the street’s reopening depends on weather conditions and their impact on site work.
Additionally, two public parking lots adjacent to the floodwall on the north side of West Rivercenter Boulevard just west of Madison Place will remain open throughout this period. These are the 27-space “Floodwall Lot” and the 38-space “West Lot.”
The sidewalk on the south side of the street will be closed during sewer tie-in operations, with pedestrian traffic temporarily re-routed. The asphalt path on the north side attached to these parking lots will remain open except for a limited time.
For more information about the 23-acre development and Bray’s work, see Covington Central Riverfront.
