KYTC gearing up for resurfacing and bridge deck work in the area

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four crews and contractors are gearing up for work on several area projects.

KYTC District Four says preparation work gets under way June 9 for asphalt resurfacing on an 11-mile stretch of the Bluegrass Parkway. Work will take place between mile markers 24 and 35. The KYTC says traffic will be reduced to one lane in varying configurations as the work progresses. Work will begin with barrier wall setting at bridge locations along the stretch. Work is to be completed by November 1.

Meanwhile, work has begun on a series of bridge projects in Hardin County to replace bridge deck driving surfaces.

KY 1375 is reduced to one lane at the bridge over the Nolin River, with that project due to be completed by June 20.

KY 84 is reduced to one lane at the bridge over the Western Kentucky Parkway. That work is scheduled to be completed by June 13. When completed, crews will shift to work on KY 210 for the bridge over Middle Creek.

Varying lane closures will be in place on KY 361 for work on the bridge over U.S. 31W near Fort Knox. That work should be completed by July 7.

Motorists are urged to use caution and minimize distractions when approaching and driving through work zones. Slow down and pay attention to signage and flaggers.
