Crews will be working on Interstate 65 during overnight hours the next several weeks.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says work began Tuesday night on an asphalt repair and preservation project along an 18-mile stretch of I-65 South between Munfordville and Sonora.
The KYTC says southbound I-65 traffic will be reduced to one lane in various configurations between 9 p.m. and 5 a.m. over the next several weeks. After southbound work is completed, work will move to the northbound lanes. The work is being done in segments and during overnight hours to minimize traffic disruption. The work is scheduled to be completed by no later than September 30.
Crews are performing crack seal work which will be followed by an asphalt overlay of both sides of the interstate. The KYTC says the project repairs broken pavement and extends the overall life of the current surface.
Motorists are urged to slow down and use additional caution when driving through work zones. Pay close attention to lane closure signs. Additional announcements regarding traffic impacts will be posted as work progresses. Work is weather permitting.
