CARROLL & GALLATIN COUNTIES:
-
Interstate 71 - 52.77 - 57.36 mile points --A widening project aimed at reducing congestion and improving safety on I-71 in Carroll and Gallatin counties will begin on Monday, March 3. The project will widen I-71 from its configuration of two lanes in each direction, to three lanes. Weather permitting, on Monday, March 3, crews will begin setting up signage in the work zone ahead of the widening project.
Crews are expected to begin milling/paving operations on Monday, March 10. This work will include milling the outside shoulder rumble strips in the project area, followed by putting asphalt back in order to switch traffic to the outside lane. Motorists can expect a single lane closure in one direction at a time when this work is being performed. Crews will mill/pave southbound I-71 first, followed by northbound. This work will be performed during daytime working hours.
Once the right shoulder has been milled/paved, two lanes of traffic will be maintained through the project area for the majority of the project. Occasional lane closures may be needed during evening/overnight hours.
This widening project includes a bridge replacement over KY 47. The current bridges will be replaced with a new, single span bridge matching the median widening throughout the project area. This work may involve additional traffic impacts.
The speed limit will be reduced throughout the project area to 55 miles-per-hour to keep our crews safe as they work to improve this corridor. Please, drive carefully throughout the work zone. Weather permitting, the overall project is expected to be completed Nov. 1, 2026.

I-71 – 53 – 62 mile point – The KYTC Gallatin County maintenance crew will perform a rolling roadblock for pothole patching operations on Tuesday, March 4. Traffic will be temporarily slowed down and, at times, stopped to allow crews space to patch potholes.
Crews will begin patching potholes on I-71 southbound between the Owenton/Glencoe Exit and the Gallatin/Carroll County line. Once that work has been completed, crews will shift to I-71 northbound from the Gallatin/Carroll County line to the Owenton/Glencoe Exit.
Pothole patching operations will begin at 8:30 a.m. These repairs are expected to take a couple hours to complete.
Motorists should adhere to posted signage, and not pass crews blocking ramps during the rolling roadblock.
