Traffic Paint Striping Ramping Up in KYTC District 1 Counties
Paint crews starting in Lyon, Crittenden & Trigg counties and working westward
PADUCAH, Ky. (July 25, 2022) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to ramp up traffic paint striping in KYTC District 1 starting this week.
A crew started work in Lyon County last Friday, with additional crews arriving in Crittenden County and Trigg County this week. The teams will then move westward from there.
Much of this round of roadway traffic stripe painting will be along rural secondary highways, although there will be some striping work along I-24, I-69, and various 4-lane U.S. Highways through the region.
These crews may have to make up to three passes on each section of highway to paint the center lines and both outside edge lines.
Motorists should be alert for slow-moving paint trucks with support caravans. On 2-lane highways these paint caravans will generally be moving 45 to 50 miles per hour. Motorists are asked be safety-minded when they encounter paint caravans going about their work.
While traffic paint is designed to dry quickly, motorists should avoid driving through fresh paint.
These paint caravans will be on the road during daylight hours anytime weather allows.
The target completion date is September 15, 2022.
KYTC District 1 includes Crittenden, Lyon, Trigg, Calloway, Marshall, Livingston, McCracken, Graves, Fulton, Hickman, Carlisle and Ballard counties.
