KYTC advises of lane closures as surface work on U.S. 62 and WKP takes place

Drivers should be on the look out for road work in Elizabethtown the next few nights.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet crews are overlaying a high-friction surface along portions of U.S. 62 and the Western Kentucky Parkway, resulting in varying nightly lane closures.

According to KYTC District Four, workers Tuesday night will be continuing work on westbound U.S. 62 between the Interstate 65 overpass and Commerce Drive, with lane closures in effect as the work runs from 8 p.m. to 6 a.m. Drivers using the southbound I-65 and the northbound I-65 exit ramps to westbound U.S. 62 should be aware of these lane closures.

Work Wednesday and Thursday nights will shift to the end of eastbound WKP between the I-65 overpass and U.S. 31W, with lane closures in effect. Drivers heading off the northbound and southbound I-65 ramps heading east on the parkway will also need to be aware of the lane closures.

Work is taking place overnight to minimize traffic impacts. Use caution and pay close attention to signage in work zones. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for updates.
