FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. 
– Work begins Monday, April 21, on the addition of turn lanes at KY 989 on the Lewis County AA Highway (KY 9).
This project will provide right and left turning lanes onto KY 989 from KY 9 (AA Hwy). The turn lanes will provide space for turning vehicles to safely decelerate and then stop (if necessary) before completing their turning movement. This allows through traffic on the AA to continue moving without interruption and greatly reduces the chances of rear-end collisions for through traffic.
Contractors expect to begin work on Monday, April 21, weather permitting. Motorists should watch for equipment and workers, trucks entering/leaving the roadway, and periods of time with one lane utilizing flagger-controlled traffic.
Road work schedules are subject to change depending on weather conditions. Motorists are asked to heed all warning signs, slow down in work zones, and remain aware of workers and construction equipment when traveling. For up-to-date traffic information, go to goky.ky.gov or use the WAZE app.
This state highway improvement project is projected to be done by the end of July and is being done by Rame Contracting, LLC under a $695,225.17 Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contract.
