Work continues on the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s $13.5 million I-75 safety and pavement improvement project in Madison County. Construction is now shifting from the southern section to the northern section of the project.
-Labor Day holiday (6 a.m. Friday, Aug. 29 – 6 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 2): Barrels will be moved back and there will be no lane closures.
-After the holiday, construction will shift to the northern section (mile marker 92 to near 98 at the Clays Ferry bridge), with only single lane closures permitted in that area during 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daytime work hours.
-In the southern section of the project (mile markers 86 to 92), including Exit 90 (US 25) and Exit 87 (Eastern Bypass) all three lanes will reopen each direction, and there will be no more full-time lane closures.
Drivers are encouraged to stay alert, slow down in work zones, and allow extra travel time.
The project is expected to be complete by late October.
