Work on Morgan County Segment of Parkway Expansion to Begin this Week

Contractors are starting work along another major stretch of the Mountain Parkway Expansion. Work will begin this week in the Morgan County Segment, an 8.2 mile section of the parkway in Wolfe, Morgan and Magoffin counties. The improvements include: Widening the parkway to four lanes between mile points 56 and 65; improving and modernizing the Lee City/West Liberty interchange at Exit 57; making improvements to the Ky 134 Interchange; and reconstructing and eliminating an “S” curve near the Morgan/Magoffin county line. Starting this week, construction crews will place signs that roadway work is underway and the speed limit will be reduced to 45 miles per hour.
