Roadwork Begins Thursday on KY 88 in Hart County

Resurfacing and concrete inlay to be complete by the end of June

ELIZABETHTOWN, Ky. (Feb. 21, 2024)  Preliminary work begins Thursday on a road rehabilitation project along KY 88 between Kessinger and Munfordville. The initial phase includes replacement of culvert pipes, slope corrections and base failure repairs.

Work will take place between 7:30am and 5pm central time each day. Flaggers will direct alternating one-lane traffic around construction operations. Motorists should expect short delays and be prepared for slowly moving and/or stopped traffic ahead.

Final surfacing of the project is scheduled for completion by June 30th. Once completed, safety and ride quality will be increased throughout the five-mile stretch. Additionally, the KY 88 approach to US 31W (Main Street) will be reconstructed with a concrete inlay which is better suited to withstand torque and twisting produced as heavy vehicles pull into and out of the intersection.
