Asphalt
paving along U.S. 60 will run from mile-point 6.734 near the Ky. 270
intersection extending eastward to mile-point 13.077 near the Eagle
Creek Bridge.
The
contractor plans to restrict paving activity to reduce disruptions to
school traffic. The contractor will be primarily paving outside of peak
school travel periods to
avoid conflicts with bus traffic.
Motorists
should be alert for one-lane traffic with alternating flow controlled
by flaggers. Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers,
and construction personnel
are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
Roger’s
Group is the prime contractor on this $1.66 million highway improvement
project. This paving work is scheduled on a weather permitting basis. Work along this section
is expected to take a week or two to complete.
There
will be no paving along a 0.38+mile section of U.S. 60 at the entrance to
Union County Hospital. Plans call for this section to be reconstructed
to add a turn lane for
the hospital entrance at a later date.
