Traffic Update: US 23 to East I-64 On Ramp Now OPEN in Boyd County
On ramp construction completed ahead of schedule
CATLETTSBURG, Ky. (Aug. 5, 2022) – Contractors finished the US 23 to east I-64 on ramp construction today and the ramp has reopened at Catlettsburg in Boyd County.
The on ramp opened just before 7 p.m. - a day ahead of schedule - and traffic can now access I-64 going toward West Virginia. It had been closed since Tuesday for widening and paving work.
The construction was part of an overall $9.5 million project to improve I-64 in Boyd County, which includes new blacktop, safety upgrades, and roadside, drainage, pavement, and concrete repairs. Contractors have until Nov. 30 to complete the project.
Currently, I-64 is one lane each direction between the Cannonsburg and Catlettsburg exits (mile markers 184 to 191) and the speed limit has been reduced to 55 miles per hour. The right lane is closed entering the work zone, so all traffic must merge left. On ramp traffic entering I-64 must yield to oncoming interstate traffic.
Please heed all warning signs, slow down in work zones and remain aware of workers and construction equipment when traveling.
