A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and state highway maintenance crews plan to ramp up mowing activities along highways across the region starting on Monday.
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 as weather allows. Litter pick-up crews will be working in advance of contract mowing crews along major routes.
Motorists are urged to use appropriate caution when encountering a mowing zone. Mower operators often have to cross travel lanes as they go about their work cutting grass along state right-of-way. This creates a potential conflict with passing traffic.
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.
