The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans daytime closures along Ky. 70 in Livingston County starting Tuesday and continuing on weekdays through Aug. 7. The road will be closed during daylight hours for approximately seven working days to allow the replacement of a number of cross drains between Smithland and Tiline.
The roadway will close on the following tentative work schedule:
- July 30: Mile-point 6.4 to 6.850
- July 31: Mile-point 8.0 to 8.987
- Aug. 1: Mile-point 6.850 to 7.0
- Aug. 2: Mile-point 6.0 to 6.850
- Aug. 5: Mile-point 2.9 to 3.176
- Aug. 6: Mile-point 2.5 to 3.0
- Aug. 7: Mile-point 1.0 to 1.809
Closures will be from about 7 a.m. to approximately 5 p.m. all dates, except for Aug. 7 when the closure will run from about 7:45 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m. to allow school buses to run after school starts. This will also apply to any additional work rescheduled to after Aug. 7 by weather delays.
These dates are subject to change due to rain and other issues. However, the crew will attempt to maintain this schedule as closely as possible.
Motorists who regularly travel Ky. 70 between Tiline and Smithland should be aware of this work schedule and make advance alternate travel plans. There will be no marked detour.
