Roundabouts now open at U.S. 62/U.S. 31W Bypass interchange

Work on the dual roundabout interchange being installed at U.S. 62 and the U.S. 31W Bypass is progressing. A traffic switch took place in the construction zone this week, with eastbound traffic being placed into the roundabout configuration. With this change, both roundabouts are now fully operational for traffic on U.S. 62, with access for ramp traffic to and from the U.S. 31W Bypass. The Nicholas Street connector remains closed as work on the overall project is completed. “So minus the connection at Nicholas Street, this is the final configuration, how traffic’s going to flow at that dual roundabout intersection there,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “The contractor still has some work to do, obviously, between the bypass and French Street to finish this project up, but this is how it’s going to look as we move forward with U.S. 62 and that intersection.” Construction on the interchange began in July, a part of the larger corridor project announced in 2024 aimed at making U.S. 62 safer and more efficient. Work is scheduled to be completed on the interchange by November 1. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for updates.
