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.
Hardin County Schools will provide free lunches for any child 18 years old or younger on weekdays this summer with their Summer Meals Program.
“Every day during the summer, there are always children and their families who come to take advantage of not only the school locations, the school site locations, but also the locations that are mobile,” said Hardin County Schools Community Relations Specialist John Wright.
He says HCS is excited to offer this federally-supported program.
“We know for some students or some children that this may be a way to provide meals for a meal that they may not have been able to receive throughout the summer months, so there’s a great need for it and we’re glad that our Child Nutrition Department can provide the Summer Meals Program,” Wright said.
The program runs June 3 through July 26, with no meals on July 4. Children do not have to be a HCS student to participate. Adult meals are available for $3. Food must be eaten on site.
A menu and a list of locations can be found under the Quick Links tab on the Hardin County Schools website.
If you have been looking for an excuse to get back into fishing, Kentucky Fish and Wildlife has one for you this weekend.
KFW will host a free fishing weekend this Saturday and Sunday, June 1 and 2. Licenses and permits will not be required for Kentucky residents and visitors who are looking to cast out a line.
Tips and tricks for beginners can be found on the Learn to Fish page on the KFW website. Several communities across Kentucky are offering free fishing events for families on Saturday, details for which are also available on the web.
The fishing page of the KFW website also includes the annual fishing forecast which will help anglers identify sites across the state where they are most likely to find success on the water. The Fishing in Neighborhoods Program offers easily accessible, specially stocked lakes near the state’s population centers.
If you are heading out on the water to do your fishing, remember to wear your life jackets and follow all boating laws and regulations. While licenses and permits are not required to fish on June 1 and 2, you must still follow rules on fish size and number limits.
