Paving could lead to Juggalo traffic jam

Starting Monday, paving and milling operations along Ky. 91 North will be taking place. This will occur the morning after The Gathering ends, an annual Cave in Rock, Ill. event that draws thousands of concert-goers called Juggalos. The Ohio River Ferry at Cave in Rock, which connects to Ky. 91 North, is one of the main exit routes for the Juggalos.

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, milling and cutting back the shoulders of the road will take place Monday, weather permitting, starting at the Crooked Creek Bridge northward toward Jack Dodson Road. The project will stretch 3.3 miles. On Tuesday, paving will begin, with completion scheduled for Wednesday.

The project will cost the state $246,402.
