Work to restrict Crittenden Springs Road traffic

Traffic on Crittenden Springs Road will be restricted Monday to one lane along a portion of the road from its junction at U.S. 60 West so that road crews can install liners in cross drains. The work should continue through Friday.

The lane restrictions on Ky. 1668, more commonly known as Crittenden Springs Road, will be at various locations between U.S. 60 and the new Rogers Group rock quarry at about the two-mile marker. This work zone is for the installation of pipe liners in a number of cross drains ranging from 15 inches to 24 inches.

Installation of pipe liners can extend the life of cross drains and other drainage structures. They can be installed with minimal traffic disruption and without damaging the surface of the roadway.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC) reminds motorists to use appropriate caution in the work zone where equipment, flaggers and maintenance personnel will be on the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow. Work in this area is likely to continue during daylight hours for about one week.
