Motorists need to be aware a Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contractor plans to step up construction activity at intersections along the US 68 work zone in Trigg County beginning Tuesday.
Spokesman Keith Todd says the contractor plans to start asphalt paving Tuesday and other connecting work at intersections along the US 68 work zone around Cadiz that runs from the US 68-Business western intersection extending eastward to the US 68-Business eastern intersection, a distance of over 4 miles.
Todd indicates initial work will focus on connecting points for the US 68 intersection with KY 139/South Road and KY 1175/Old Dover Road, and then will likely move to other intersections along the route.
Rogers Group, Inc., is the prime contractor on this $25.5 million contract to add two additional lanes along US 68/KY 80 where it runs just south of Cadiz in Trigg County. Todd notes this project is 70% complete.
Motorists are urged to use appropriate caution where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are along the roadway near traffic flow.
