through Sunday, July 20 in Sturgis, Kentucky. Last year the event attracked 17,000
motorcycle enthusiasts. The Kentucky Transportation cabinet is reminding area motorists to be alert for a huge increase in the number of motorcycles on area highways
heading to and from the event.
Bikers attending the four day event at the Union County Fairgrounds often take to
area backroads. A number of early arrivals have already markedly increased motorcycle traffic in the Sturgis and Union County area this week.
Motorists across the region are advised to use extra caution due to the increased number of motorcycles traveling area highways. Drivers should also be
alert for heavy traffic along U.S. 60 through Union County. Organizers have established
a traffic control plan to facilitate traffic getting into and out of the. fairgrounds.
