A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning to close a section of KY 1943 in Lyon County during daylight hours for a paving project starting on Tuesday, May 28th.
KYTC Spokesman Keith Todd says that milling and paving along KY 1943 will run from the Skin Frame Creek Bridge, at milepoint 3.432, eastward to the US 641 intersection, at milepoint 6.94, which is a distance of about 3.5 miles.
He adds that KY 1943 will be closed during daylight hours to allow full-width paving in this area, which will create a smoother ride and allow the paving to be completed more quickly.
Todd notes that paving along KY 1943 is expected to take about two or three days to complete, weather permitting and states that the contractor will work to provide access to homeowners on each side of the closure point.
He reminds motorists to use appropriate caution where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow during this milling and paving project.
