Update from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet:

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises the public of lane closures along US 119 in Pike County. The project site is located at mile point 1.7 (1.7 miles east of US 23) near Pike Central High School.

Contract Crews are constructing an interior acceleration lane heading northbound from Pike Central High School entrance onto US 119. In addition to the new lane configuration, crews will complete maintenance projects such as ditching and drop box modifications. The North and southbound inside lanes will be closed so work can occur safely along the median. The project started before the access to the high school and will continue to the top of the hill.

Work will occur from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. Monday through Saturday; however, traffic control will remain in place until the project is complete. This project is expected to take approximately 8-10 weeks to finish.
