Officials are reminding drivers in Elizabethtown to continue paying attention to traffic pattern changes and possible delays related to two major road projects.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says traffic on Ring Road near the intersection with Patriot Parkway has been placed in a split phase on the outside of the roundabout under construction at the new Kroger. On the Patriot Parkway side, turning lane and r-cut loon work will require various lane closures and configuration changes. This week, Provident Way traffic must turn right onto Provident Way as crossing and left turn movements will not be allowed as crews complete curb and paving work.
Meanwhile, construction of the roundabout at the intersection of Veterans Way and Towne Drive is set to begin on May 18. To help prepare traffic for the work, Elizabethtown Police Department Public Information Officer Chris Denham says traffic on Veterans Way has been reduced to 35 miles per hour.
“Once the construction begins, the speed limit in the work zone will be further reduced to 25 miles per hour,” Denham said. “For the safety of the work crew, our officers will be actively patrolling the area, and as a reminder, fines are doubled in construction zones.”
During construction, drivers exiting Towne Drive onto Veterans Way will only be able to turn right, and only northbound drivers on Veterans Way will be able to turn onto Towne Drive.
