Work is ready to begin on Hardin County’s next roundabout.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says roundabout construction at the intersection of Shepherdsville Road and Battle Training Road is getting under way.
Preliminary work along the right of way at the intersection has started, and drivers entering the intersection from all four directions as well as drivers entering and exiting nearby businesses should be on the lookout for flaggers directing traffic.
The KYTC says the roundabout, which is due to be completed by November 1, will increase safety and efficiency at the intersection that sees nearly 10,000 combined vehicles per day using the two roads. Traffic shifts and short delays should be expected as the work continues.
Meanwhile, the installation of a large culvert on Saint John Road begins Monday, meaning new traffic restrictions in the area.
“We just need everybody to know back through the Croghan Drive neighborhood there that streets like Vanderbilt Drive, Winmoor Drive, Timber Lane, Reelfoot Drive, and Turtle Creek Drive, you’re all going to have to drive out to Harvard Drive in order to access Saint John Road there for the next 30 days,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie.
Work on the culvert is expected to be completed within 30 days. Follow KYTC District Four social media for project updates.
