MAMMOTH CAVE — A portion of Brownsville Road will close next week for two days as crews complete fog sealing on the roadway.

Mammoth Cave National Park said in a news release that Brownsville Road (KY-70E) from Mammoth Cave Parkway to the Brownsville entrance will close temporarily. The closure is set to begin at 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 14 and end at 7 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 16.

Cedar Sink Trail will remain open during the road closure but may only be accessed by the Park Boundary Road originating at the intersection of KY-259 and State Hwy 422 in Pig. There will be no access to Turnhole Bend Nature Trail or to Joppa Church from either Brownsville Road or Joppa Ridge Road the during the closure.

The sealing work is a part of a larger project to clean culverts, repair parking areas, install rumble strips, and stripe the roadway within the park, according to the news release. The pavement project is being coordinated by the United States Federal Highway Administration and National Park Service.
