KYTC Installing Rumble Strips on Area Highways

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Department of Highways has announced that rumble strips will be installed this week on five highways in District 5, which includes Jefferson, Bullitt and Oldham counties.

The strips help reduce roadway departure crashes and are used across the county. A $500,000 contract was awarded this summer to install the strips along the centerlines or shoulders of highways in 14 central Kentucky counties.

The strips in the District 5 area include:

• Bullitt County: KY 44 from the Jefferson/Bullitt county line to Old Pitts Point Road.
• Franklin County: From KY 1900 to the Franklin/Owen County line.
• Jefferson County: From KY 148 to New Hopewell Road.
• Jefferson County: I-265 from mile points 30.0 to 35.0
• Spencer County: KY 55 to the Jefferson/Spencer County Line.
