A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to reduce traffic to one lane and place a load width restriction on U.S. 60 at the Union-Henderson County line starting Wednesday, October 15. There will be some preliminary work at the site starting on
Monday, October 13. However, the contractor does not expect to restrict traffic to one lane until sometime Wednesday morning.
Traffic will be restricted to one lane to allow the placement of a new concrete deck overlay on the Highland Creek Bridge at the Union-Henderson County line. This is on U.S. 60 between Coburn Lane and Kings Mill Road.
Traffic flow at the site will be controlled by installation of a
temporary traffic signal. Delays at the site should be minor. The work
will restrict traffic to a maximum load width of 10 feet. Due to work
requirements at the site no oversized loads will be allowed through this
work zone
Driving eastward in Union County this site is about 8 miles east of the
U.S. 60 Morganfield Bypass and 4 miles east of Waverly. Driving westward
in Henderson County the work zone is 8.71 miles west of the KY 425
Henderson Bypass and is 3 miles west of Corydon.
Once work starts, the contractor plans to have construction personnel on
site during daylight hours six days a week until the project is
completed. American Contracting & Services Inc., is the prime contractor on the
$592, 515 highway improvement project. The scheduled completion date is
November 15.
