During the Months of April - May - June 2008

According to the Kentucky Department of Transporation, the project continues to be on schedule.

During the re-construction of Industrial Road, construction of driveways and entrances will be coordinated with the businesses as appropriate to maintain access for employees and deliveries. While all businesses will have access maintained at all times, some inconvenience is inevitable during the construction process. It is the intent of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and their contractor to maintain safe and reliable access to and from Industrial Road at all times during construction.

• Utility relocation from US 42 to Dixie Highway

• Storm sewer and culvert construction from US 42 to Dixie Highway

• Embankment construction from US 42 to Dixie Highway

• Pavement widening on the south side of Industrial Road from US 42

to Dixie Hwy.

WIDENING OF US 42 FROM INDUSTRIAL TO I-75

Construction has begun
Lawrence Construction, the same contractor awarded the Industrial Road project, was awarded the contract to add the additional lane to westbound US 42 between Industrial Road and I-75.
Lawrence Construction anticipates starting work on the additional US 42 lane around March 3^rd, 2008 with the installation of staking and erosion control measures.
Construction is expected to begin on March 10^th, 2008 with completion projected to occur around May 5^th, 2008.

Lawrence Construction is required to maintain two lanes of traffic on westbound US 42 at all times during the construction process during non-working hours. Additional lane closures are possible while work is ongoing. The road will NOT be closed during any part of construction. There will always be a minimum of one lane open each direction on US 42. At times when the contractor is not working, two lanes of traffic will be maintained on west bound US 42.

The eastbound US 42 left turn lane onto King Drive will be closed for a significant portion of the project.
Lawrence Construction intends to work on the additional US 42 lane and the Industrial Road project at the US 42 intersection at the same time to try to complete the intersection work and the work with the additional lane on US 42 at about the same time.
During the construction process in these two areas the public will likely experience traffic delays.
The addition of the westbound US 42 lane will also require modification of the US 42/Dream Street intersection.
A water main will be relocated during the construction of the additional US 42 westbound lane which could cause some water outages in the vicinity of Dream Street. Lawrence Construction will provide advanced notice before proceeding with a planned water outage.
Some lane closures on eastbound US 42 are expected to occur during the construction on Industrial Road.
