I-75 asphalt and road rehab project starts Wed. (July 26) in Whitley County

If you’re planning to travel on I-75 between Corbin and Williamsburg between now and early October, then you should be prepared for some construction delays.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that shoulder closures will take place on I-75 from mile points 20.045 to 24.688 in Whitley County beginning Wednesday, July 26, until Thursday, Oct. 12.

The shoulder closures are needed to accommodate guardrail replacement and ditching and shouldering in advance of milling and paving operations for mainline.

KYTC asks motorists to be aware of the work zone, expect significant delays, and to utilize safe driving habits when traveling through the area.

The date, time, and duration of work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur. Motorists can access travel and traffic conditions at http://goky.ky.gov or contribute their reports at www.waze.com or via the Waze mobile application.
