An influx of motorcycles is expected this week as bikers head to the annual rally in Sturgis.
The Little Sturgis Rally was formerly held at the Union County Fairgrounds. A lawsuit over the name prompted organizers to halt that event.
Now, the Kentucky Bikefest is scheduled for Thursday through Sunday.
It is expected to attract around 15,000 motorcycle enthusiasts. Transportation officials say motorists can expect heavy traffic and minor delays along U.S. 60 through the Sturgis area. The arrival and departure of RVs and other support vehicles pulling trailers adds to congestion through the area, said Keith Todd, spokesman for the Kentucky Department of Highways.
