COVINGTON, Ky. (Sept. 11, 2023) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 6 Office advises motorists of districtwide street sweeping beginning Sunday, Sept. 10, between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. Sweepers will be out Sunday night through Friday morning until the work is complete.
Street sweeping is done to remove potentially harmful materials. The sweeper collects debris, loose gravel, nails, metal, dirt, etc. all things that could impact motorists if they need to utilize the highway shoulder for an emergency. This work is performed once a month to maintain and clean our roadways and bicycle/pedestrian facilities.
Contractors will occasionally utilize a single lane closure for the sweeper to complete passes along narrow shoulders on I-71/75 and other needed areas.
Interstate locations:
- I-75 (143 – 192 mile marker; both directions), I-471 (entire interstate), I-275 (entire interstate), I-71 (77.7 – 54.9 mile point)
Motorists should slow down and be aware of slow-moving equipment and potential lane closures during this mobile operation.
Weather permitting, this work should be completed by Saturday, Sept. 30.
The date, time, and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists can get Northern Kentucky road construction updates on the District 6 Roadshow.
