State highway crews will be doing inspection work along Poplar Street beginning Monday.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says a set of highway safety improvement projects throughout Elizabethtown will conclude this month with intersection work along West Poplar Street at Sycamore Street and North Mantle Avenue to improve sidewalk and crossing safety for pedestrians and provide better maneuverability for motorists. The work was scheduled to coincide with area schools going on Fall Break.
The KYTC says the original design of the project has been modified with construction to include rebuilding outside corners and sidewalk approaches. Both intersections will remain open during the project, but congestion and delays are possible. Work is expected to take about three weeks.
