(Boone County, Ky.) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of a rolling roadblock on Interstates 275, I-71/75 and I-71 in Boone County on Thursday, Dec. 19. Traffic will be temporarily slowed down and, at times, stopped to allow crews space to patch potholes. This project will improve safety on the area interstates.

Crews will be patching potholes in various locations between the overnight working hours of 10 p.m. and 6 a.m. Once work is completed in one location, crews will move to the next location on the list below.

Schedule of Work (Tentative)

• I-275 westbound from the Boone/Kenton County line (mile point 1.59) to Idlewild Bypass (KY 3608) (mile point 11.52), a distance of 9.93 miles. Crews will also patch potholes on off-ramps.
