Drivers in Hardin County should be on the lookout for resurfacing work taking place on U.S. 31W.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says the work is taking place on a three-mile stretch between KY 313 and KY 1815. Work on milling the old surface will run from 6:30 p.m. to 6:30 a.m. Sunday through friday.
“So this is a nighttime work project, and this really does a couple of different things,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “The first and most obvious is that there are less impacts to traffic with fewer motorists on the road during those hours. It also helps the contractor do their work more efficiently. The less maintenance of traffic they have to do, the quicker they can finish the paving work.”
Work on the project should be completed around the end of July. Drivers should be aware of various lane closures and uneven pavement in the project area. Pay attention to signs and flaggers and slow down in work zones. Follow KYTC District Four on social media for project updates.
