State mowing crews back at it Tuesday

After taking a break for the Memorial Day Holiday, contractors for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and state highway maintenance crews will again ramp up mowing activities along highways across the region on Tuesday.

Crews will be mowing along interstates, parkways, and federal highways, as well as many rural secondary highways. 

Mowing crews will be working during daylight hours about anytime weather allows for about the next month.  

Litter pickup crews will be working in advance of contract mowing crews along major routes.

Please use appropriate caution when you encounter a mowing zone. Mower operators often have to cross travel lanes as they go about their work cutting grass along state right of way.

Due to the level of activity, mowing zones should be approached with the same level of caution as other work zones. Slow down, put down your cell phone, and pay close attention to what is ahead of you.
