(Kenton County, Ky.) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has announced a daytime rolling roadblock operation on Interstates 71/75 in Kenton County for Wednesday, November 11.

Crews will be performing contrast striping to improve safety as part of the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor project. Traffic will be temporarily slowed to allow for this work to be safely completed.

At 2:00 PM, crews will begin a 15-minute rolling roadblock. Motorists should expect the roadblock to begin approximately one mile north of the Brent Spence Bridge approach on both I-71 and I-75 in Ohio.

Crews will be performing contrast striping on I-71/75 southbound from south of Pike Street (U.S. 25) (190.6 mile point) to south of the future I-71/75 on-ramp from 12th Street/MLK Jr. Blvd (KY 1120) (190 mile point), a distance of 0.6 miles. Additionally, the W. Fourth Street on-ramp to I-71/75 southbound will be temporarily blocked for 15 minutes during this roadblock operation.

This work is being performed ahead of expected inclement weather. Crews anticipate needing only one 15-minute rolling roadblock to complete the work. Motorists are encouraged to utilize I-275 and I-471 during this brief period to avoid delays.

Do not attempt to pass a rolling roadblock operation. This is in place to keep our crews safe as they perform their work. 

Weather permitting, this portion of work is expected to be completed by 2:15 p.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 11.
