Interstate 65
A major resurfacing project has started between mile marker 35 and mile marker 44 in both directions. The interstate will be down to one lane most nights from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m. weather depending. Motorists should use extreme caution and watch for slowed or stopped traffic. Law enforcement will be present during the overnight hours. One lane of this section may also be closed during the day. The project is expected to be finished in late November.


Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway
(Barren/ Metcalfe Counties) - Work to continue on a bridge maintenance contract on various bridges along the Louie B. Nunn Cumberland Parkway. The work will consist of cleaning, painting and applying a concrete coating to 28 bridges along the parkway. Expect lane closures to be in place at various bridges along the parkway and on the routes that pass beneath.


Metcalfe County
  • US 68 Greensburg Road - Contractors are expected to continue paving operations on a shoulder improvement project that will improve roadside features and replace drainage structures on US 68. The project begins at KY 163 extending east to KY 70. Flaggers will be present to maintain traffic through the work zone.

  • KY 163 Tompkinsville Road - Contractors are expected to work on a project that will replace the bridge and approaches over Rogers Creek. The project is 0.5 miles in length and begins at Robertson Shaw Road extending north to Radford Martin Road. Motorists should be prepared for occasional delays due to flagging as earthwork operations resume.

  • KY 745 Mell Ridge Road - Contractors are expected to complete work on a preventative maintenance project that will improve roadside features and replace drainage structures on KY 745. The project is 5.1 miles in length and begins at US 68 extending north to the Green County line. Flaggers will be present to maintain traffic through the work zone.

  • KY 163 Tompkinsville Road - A bridge replacement project will temporarily close a section of KY 163 Tompkinsville Road in Metcalfe County for approximately one week. The section of KY 163 Tompkinsville Road at Rogers Creek between Randolph Goodluck Road and Robertson Shaw Road will be closed from Saturday, September 29 through Sunday, October 7. The closure will create a significant detour utilizing KY 90, KY 640, KY 861 and US 68. Please plan ahead as the closure will add travel time to routes.
