The road will be closed during daylight hours near the six-mile marker to allow a highway maintenance crew to replace one cross drain and install two new cross drains to help improve road drainage in the area. This is on Ky. 654 North in the Crittenden County Amish community near the Mt. Zion Church Road intersection north of Mattoon.
To make the job site safer for workers and the traveling public, Ky. 654 North will be closed to all traffic between the hours of approximately 7 a.m, and 4 p.m., each day. If all goes as planned, the highway will reopen to traffic at the end of each workday, said Kentucky Transportation Cabinet spokesman Keith Todd.
There will be no marked detour. Motorists who regularly travel this section of Ky. 654 North should make advance alternate travel plans.
The project is expected to be complete by Oct. 17, weather permitting.
