Regional Street Sweeping Beginning on Sunday, April 6
Occasional single lane closures as contractors sweep narrow shoulders
COVINGTON, Ky. (April 2, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 6 Office advises motorists of street sweeping around our region beginning Sunday, April 6, 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 clean and maintain highway shoulders along barrier walls, bridges and bicycle lanes.
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.
