Work has begun on asphalt resurfacing on U.S. 31W in Elizabethtown from the town square to Saint John Road.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says the paving work requires nightly lane closures which will begin each evening at 7 p.m. and should be completed by 6 a.m.. The work is being conducted at night to minimize disruptions and should be completed by this weekend.
Meanwhile, work on the bridge deck of Woodlawn Road over the Bluegrass Parkway in Bardstown is set to begin Monday. That work will require a 30-day closure, for which a signed detour will be in place using the loop around KY 605 via U.S. 150, KY 245, and U.S. 62.
Drivers should pay close attention to signs and watch for flaggers, and use extra caution when driving through work zones.
I never noticed until I became handicapped and had to use a mobility scooter how deplorable the sidewalks are on the south side of town. From the courthouse to the end of town. I’ve had to ride in the road in most places or cross the highway at bad places. And when is a sidewalk considered a place to park or put out your garbage?
