FLEMINGSBURG – Work’s now under way on a $3 million Kentucky Transportation Cabinet improvement project along four miles of US 60 in Carter County.
The project includes ditching and shoulder upgrades, culvert and drainage pipe improvements, drainage repairs at multiple locations, full guardrail replacement, resurfacing, and other enhancements to improve the stability and safety of the important state highway.
Now through this spring, construction will take place on US 60 east of Grayson from Upper Stinson Creek bridge (milepoint 26.1) to just east of Wilson Creek Road (milepoint 30). Approximately four miles of pavement and roadway rehab will be completed.
Traffic will be restricted to one lane at work locations with flaggers and a pilot truck directing vehicles. The speed limit has been reduced to 45 mph. Minor delays can be expected through this spring.
Motorists are asked to heed all warning signs, slow down in work zones and remain aware of workers and construction equipment when traveling.
The project is being done by Mountain Enterprises, Inc., under a $3,041,394.46 low-bid Transportation Cabinet contract.
