State begins mowing along roadsides

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC) highway crews have started their spring round of mowing across the region. Crews will be mowing along highways in all counties.

Motorists should slow down and use appropriate caution anytime they encounter a mowing zone. Mower operators are often required to enter and cross highway travel lanes with their equipment as they go about their work.

"Please remember that a mowing zone requires the same amount of caution as any other work zone," reminds KyTC spokesman Keith Todd.

Mowing crews will be out working during daylight hours anytime weather allows for the next several weeks.
