PIKEVILLE, Ky.(Sept. 19, 2024) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises motorists of a resurfacing project in Letcher County. The work site will begin at the US 119/Ky 805 (mp 0.0) off-ramp near Kona and continue to the KY 805/KY 317 (mp 3.05) intersection at Neon.
Crews will begin repaving operations on Friday, Sept. 20, at 8:00 a.m. Operations will occur Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Traffic control will be in place throughout the project. Work will consist of milling the old asphalt, replacing it with new pavement, and restriping the roadway. During this time, crews will use alternating lane closures to ensure work can occur safely. The project will take approximately two-three weeks to complete.
Motorists should expect delays and congested traffic throughout the duration of the project and are encouraged to use an alternate route during peak travel times. Schedules are based on weather conditions and are subject to change.
Mountain Enterprises has been contracted to perform the work.
