The following is a release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, District 12:
As part of ongoing construction on the Town Branch/Bull Creek Project along US 23 in Floyd County, new traffic control measures are now in place to improve safety for both drivers and workers in the area.
Key Changes:
Speed Limit Reduction – The speed limit through the work zone has been reduced to 45 MPH. Please slow down and stay alert.
Northbound Lane Closure – US 23 northbound is reduced to one lane between mile points 12.63 and 13.56.
NOTE: There is now a stop condition at the bottom of the KY-80 ramp onto US 23 northbound. Please use caution and be prepared to stop.
Southbound Lane Closure (Temporary) – A short-term southbound lane closure will be in place between MP 13.4 and MP 13.56. This closure will occur at the utility contractors’ discretion and is expected to last a few weeks.
Increased Law Enforcement Presence
Reminder to All Drivers:
Please obey all posted signs, reduce your speed in work zones, and remain alert for workers and equipment.
