Work is scheduled to take place along U.S. 62 in Elizabethtown Thursday night as part of a larger road diet project.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says restriping on Mulberry Street/U.S. 62 will take place west and east of Dixie Avenue/U.S. 31W, with configuration changes between College Street and West Poplar Street to allow for better spacing.
For eastbound traffic on U.S. 62 at the U.S. 31W intersection, the left-turn lane will remain while the thru and right-turn lanes will be combined.
For westbound traffic, the turning and thru lane approaches to the U.S. 31W signal will not change, while the approach to the West Poplar Street signal will change to a dedicated left-turn lane and a single thru lane.
“Trying to get paint applied to the road surface in between all these breaks and rain is kind of difficult,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “Right now, the contractor is looking at Thursday night of this week at getting that work done. It’ll only take them the one night to complete everything as far as the striping goes.”
The restriping work will take place after 9 p.m. in order to limit traffic impacts. The restriping sets up resurfacing work scheduled to take place along U.S. 62 later this year. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for project updates.
