Paving to restrict traffic in Livingston

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on Ky. 453/Iuka Road in Livingston County starting Saturday,.

This lane restriction along KY 453/Iuka Road is to allow asphalt paving from the intersection of Coon Chapel Road at mile point 13.990 extending southward to the intersection with Ky. 93 at mile-point 8.282, a distance of 5.7 miles.

Motorists should be alert for one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers in the work zone. Caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.

Jim Smith contracting is the prime contractor.  Work in this area is expected to take about a week to complete, weather permitting.
