A new traffic signal at the U.S. 641-U.S. 62 intersection in Lyon County is expected to go into service Aug. 29, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Highway engineers plan to place it into flashing mode next week to allow motorists who regularly travel through the intersection to become familiar with the new signal.
Motorists should be alert for traffic flow changes the signal will bring to the intersection at the eastern edge of Eddyville.
The reworked intersection includes a new left-turn lane for westbound traffic on U.S. 62.
The new signal is designed to reduce the crash rate at this busy rural intersection.
