Lane closures and delays expected beginning Monday
PIKEVILLE, Ky. (June 6, 2025) –The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 12 advises motorists of two upcoming paving projects in Floyd County that will be completed concurrently to minimize public disruption and maximize efficiency. Together, the projects span more than 8 miles of state highways.
Paving will take place on:
- KY 3, from mile point 0.954 (end of Bay’s Branch bridge) to mile point 4.585 (Johnson County line)
- KY 321, from mile point 0.000 (intersection with KY 1428 near Hardee’s and the Prestonsburg High School football field) to mile point 5.07 (Johnson County line)
Although these are separate contracts, the work will appear as a single project to the public due to the back-to-back timing and close proximity of the two roadways
What to Expect:
- Traffic control signage is scheduled to be installed later this week, likely by Thursday.
- Milling on the 4-lane section of KY 3 is expected to begin Monday, June 10, with paving to follow.
- Work will occur primarily between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. daily.
- Lane closures and extended wait times are expected. Flaggers will be present throughout the work zones to direct traffic safely.
Drivers should use caution, reduce speed, and be prepared for delays, especially during peak travel times.
