Construction Progress Brings Traffic Switches on Mountain Parkway

Motorists traveling on the Mountain Parkway west of Salyersville will now follow a new traffic pattern as construction crews separate eastbound and westbound traffic on the newly divided parkway. Eastbound traffic will move onto two new lanes, between mile points 69 and 72 of the Mountain Parkway. One lane will be open to westbound traffic while construction crews complete paving and striping on that side of the expanded parkway, near the new Gifford Road interchange. Speed limits have been reduced in the areas, and signs will be posted to alert drivers of the changes.
