FLEMINGSBURG – Culvert work for the US 60 reconstruction project in Boyd County will require temporary lane closures and traffic changes next week at Cannonsburg. Motorists should plan for the following:
- KY 180 (milepoint 2.5) — Beginning Tuesday morning, July 11, one lane of KY 180 will be closed each direction at the US 60 intersection to install drainage pipes under the highway near SuperQuik. Crews will use alternating lane closures to merge all KY 180 traffic into one lane through the intersection. Expect backups and delays.US 60 (milepoint 4.0) — Beginning Thursday morning, July 13, one lane of US 60 will be closed at the KY 180 intersection to install drainage pipes under the highway near SuperQuik. Crews will use flaggers to move all US 60 traffic into one lane through the area. Expect backups and delays.
Again, because KY 180 and US 60 are high-traffic corridors, significant delays are likely. Motorists should plan their travel accordingly.The work is part of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s ongoing $46 million highway widening project along 4 miles of US 60 between I-64 at Coalton and KY 180 at Cannonsburg.Road work schedules may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists are asked to heed all warning signs, slow down in work zones and remain aware of workers and construction equipment when traveling.
