Crews restripe stretch of 31W, reduced to 3 lanes

Heads up, motorists. Crews began work this weekend in Elizabethtown, working towards a new lane configuration for Dixie Highway South of public square. Officials say the lane diet plan will see the section from public square to New Glendale Road reconfigured into 3 lanes, down from 4 lanes. 

Kentucky Transportation District Four spokesperson Chris Jessie says the project is the same as was done in 2012 from the public square to St. John Road.
