Work to replace deck joint seals on the Western Kentucky Parkway over Interstate 65 will require lane closures this week.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the outside/right lanes will be closed in both directions Tuesday, March 12. Ramps to and from I-65 will remain open but traffic on the ramps will be impacted. The inside/left lanes will be closed in both directions Wednesday, March 13. Work will begin each night at 8 p.m. and finish by 7 a.m. the next morning. If additional time is needed, work will be completed Thursday, March 14.
“That’s a heavy volume area there at the I-65 Exit 91 interchange and we’re doing this work at night,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “It minimizes impacts to traffic as well as with that lower volume makes it safer for our workers out there doing that bridge maintenance, as well.”
Motorists should slow down, minimize distractions, and pay close attention to directions when approaching and driving through work zones.
