Rolling Roadblocks Planned on Eastbound Western Kentucky Parkway on Friday
Roadblock will start at 9 a.m. and repeat several times during the day
MADISONVILLE, Ky. (July 25, 2024) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to utilize a rolling roadblock on the eastbound side of the Western Kentucky Parkway tomorrow as crews place beams for the new KY 2712 (Rob Roy Rd) Bridge over the Western Kentucky Parkway in Ohio County.
During a rolling roadblock, traffic is permitted to keep moving, but is slowed by an emergency vehicle long enough to give workers 25-30 minutes at the job site to work without dealing with traffic.
The rolling roadblock will begin at approximately the 64 mm in Muhlenberg County at around 9 a.m. During this time officials will also be closing Exit 41A from I-165 onto the eastbound WK, the WK eastbound on-ramp at Beaver Dam and the eastbound on-ramp from the Huck's Rest Area until the lead vehicle in the rolling roadblock has passed. Crews will use the same technique at various times throughout the day to give crews time to place beams across the parkway.
The bridge is located just east of the WK/Interstate 165 interchange in Ohio County.
Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
