Temporary Traffic Signals to be Installed Next Week on KY 461 in Pulaski County
Motorists advised to use caution through the work zone
SOMERSET, Ky. (Jan. 22, 2022) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that temporary traffic signals will be installed next week on KY 461 in Pulaski County as part of the ongoing KY 461 improvement project.
Crews will install the signals on Monday, Jan. 24, just north of Barnesburg Road (mile point 0.5). The temporary signals will be placed into full operation on Tuesday, Jan. 25.
The signals are necessary for traffic control at this location as the construction contractor moves equipment and material across the roadway. The signals will be utilized for approximately four weeks.
Motorists are reminded that lane widths are reduced to 10' and the speed limit is reduced to 45 mph through the work zone. Motorists should exercise heightened caution. Slow down. Remove distractions. Watch for workers.
The $49.4 million project involves replacing two intersections - KY 461 at KY 80 and KY 461 at Valley Oak Drive/Coin Road. Expected completion for the project is June 2023.
Motorists can access travel and traffic conditions at http://goky.ky.gov or contribute their own reports at www.waze.com or via the Waze mobile application.
