Traffic Advisory: Westbound I-64 On Ramp from KY 801 Closed Thursday Night in Rowan County
One-night closure part of KYTC interstate improvement project
FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. (June 27, 2023) – The interstate on ramp from KY 801 to westbound I-64 (Exit 133 at Farmers-Sharkey) in Rowan County will be closed overnight Thursday, June 29, for repairs.
On Thursday night, the westbound I-64 on ramp will close at 9 p.m. and remain closed until 6 a.m. Friday as contractors replace a pipe and make drainage repairs under the roadway.
While the on ramp is closed, motorists should note that westbound I-64 traffic taking Exit 133 cannot re-enter westbound I-64 at that location. Message boards have been placed in advance to warn travelers. On ramps from KY 801 to eastbound I-64 will remain open, as will off ramps to KY 801.
All traffic from KY 801 needing access to westbound I-64 overnight Thursday should detour to US 60 or to KY 158 and use KY 32 to the Morehead exit. In addition, travelers may reroute to the Owingsville exits. The on ramp will reopen at 6 a.m. Friday.
The work is part of a $6.8 million Kentucky Transportation Cabinet project to improve nearly six miles of Interstate 64 in Rowan County between the Bath County line and the Bullfork overpass.
Road work schedules may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists are asked to heed all warning signs, slow down in work zones and remain aware of workers and construction equipment when traveling.
