(Covington, Ky.) – Motorists are advised to be on the lookout for sweeping crews this week in northern Kentucky.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6, district wide street sweeping will take place through Friday at several locations between the hours of 6:00 p.m. and 6:00 a.m.
Street sweeping is done to remove potentially harmful materials. The sweeper collects debris, loose gravel, nails, metal, dirt, etc. all things that could impact motorists if they need to utilize the highway shoulder for an emergency. This work is performed once a month to maintain and clean our roadways and bicycle/pedestrian facilities.
Contractors will occasionally utilize a single lane closure for the sweeper to complete passes along narrow shoulders on I-71/75 and other needed areas.
Interstate locations:
- I-75 (143 – 192 mile marker; both directions), I-471 (entire interstate), I-275 (entire interstate), I-71 (77.7 – 54.9 mile point), KY-1039 (0.64 – 7 .11 mile point)
Bike lane locations:
- KY 237 (North Bend Road), KY 842 (Houston Road), KY 1017 (Aero Parkway/Turfway Road), KY 1303 (Turkeyfoot Road), and KY 16 (Pride Parkway)
Motorists should slow down and be aware of slow-moving equipment and potential lane closures during this mobile operation.
Weather permitting, this work should be completed by Wednesday, Aug. 30.
