Work was postponed last Sunday due to inclement weather.

(Boone County, Ky.) - Due to weather conditions last Sunday, East Kentucky Power has re-scheduled rolling roadblocks for March 27 on I-71/75. This is needed so that crews can safely pull a line across the interstate just north of the Rest Area (177.13 mile-marker).

During this time the following ramps will also be closed for approximately 15-20 minutes:

KY 338 (Richwood Road) northbound entrance ramp
The northbound Rest Area entrance ramp
Mall Road southbound entrance ramp
U.S. 42 southbound entrance ramp

Work is weather-dependent. Expect short delays.
