Contractors cleaning debris from along state roads

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet debris removal contractors plan to be working in areas of Crittenden and Livingston counties, according to Keith Todd, a spokesperson for the Cabinet. The will be working along the following listed highways and areas:

Crittenden County: A contractor plans to work along Ky. 70 and Ky. 295 in the Dycusburg area.

Livingston County: Crews plan to work generally in the Grand Rivers, Lake City and Iuka areas along Ky. 917, Ky. 453 and Ky. 866.

Crews are likely to be working in other counties as well, but with the constant addition of crews and constant work flow, there are no specific locations for all crews at this time. These planned work areas are tentative and subject to change due to the amount of debris encountered and may also be altered by weather conditions.

Motorists are reminded to use extra caution as debris removal crews will have lane closures and work zones set up on highways across the region between sunrise and sunset seven days a week.
