(Carroll County, Ky.) - Beginning at 7:00 p.m. on Thursday, May 21, crews will shift traffic from the current median-divided setup onto a newly paved section on the southbound side.

Motorists may experience brief delays while the new pattern is put into place, so plan for a little extra travel time that evening.

Once traffic is shifted, crews will begin work along the shoulders and barrier wall throughout the project area.

This work will take place over the following week, with some evening/overnight lane closures possible between 7:00 p.m. and 8:00 a.m., as needed.
