Expect Major Delays at South Hurstbourne and Linn Station Road

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 5 Office says that there will be lane closures on southbound KY 1747 (Hurstbourne Parkway) at the intersection with Linn Station Road (mile point 12.2) beginning today at 9 a.m. 

 

These lane closures will allow for water main installation as part of the I-64/Hurstbourne Parkway interchange improvement project.  Southbound Hurstbourne Parkway will be reduced to one lane at Linn Station Road 24 hours per day through 8:00 a.m. on Sunday, May 19.

Expect heavy delays on southbound Hurstbourne Parkway between US 60 and Interstate 64 during this phase of construction.  When possible, alternate routes should be considered.  MAC Construction and Excavating of New Albany, Ind. was awarded a contract in the amount of $4.5 million.  Work is scheduled for completion in late summer of 2013.

 The actual starting date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.  Dial 511 or log on to 511.ky.gov for the latest in traffic and travel information in the Commonwealth of Kentucky.  You can also get traffic information for the District 5 counties at www.facebook.com/KYTCDistrict5.
