Asphalt strip patching

LEXINGTON, Ky. (June 7, 2025) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists of scheduled strip patching work for Paris Pike/US 68. Roadway distress occurs in many forms; rutting from tire wheels, uplifting of soil (from water) underneath the asphalt which causes mounding, cracking and potholes. Strip patching is a process for eliminating the distress by smoothing out the areas and then applying asphalt or concrete.

Monday, June 9 7 a.m. until 4 p.m. (Northbound)

Tuesday, June 108:30 a.m. until 6 p.m. (Southbound)
