A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC) is finishing out concrete work along U.S. 60 at Sturgis in Union County.
U.S. 60 has been restricted to one lane with alternating flow controlled by an automated signal from mile-point 6.361 to mile-point 6.734 to allow concrete pavement repairs near the Sturgis floodwall.
The contractor is working on a final concrete pour along this section. The concrete will be allowed to cure over the weekend. The work zone is expected to be removed early on Monday.
This is part of a larger project that will include asphalt paving along U.S. 60 from mile-point 6.734 near the Ky. 270 intersection to mile-point 13.077 near the Eagle Creek Bridge. The contractor has completed base repairs along this section. The contractor plans to pave this section sometime after Labor Day.
When asphalt paving begins, the contractor will restrict activity to reduce disruptions to school traffic. The contractor will be paving at night and on weekends to help avoid conflicts with bus traffic.
Roger’s Group is the prime contractor on this $1.66 million highway improvement project.
There will be no paving along a 0.38 mile section of U.S. 60 at the entrance to Union County Hospital. Plans call for this section to be reconstructed to add a turn lane for the hospital entrance at a later date.
