SOMERSET, Ky. (April 21, 2021) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 8 Office advises motorists that a paving project will begin by the end of the week on a portion of KY 61 in Cumberland County.
Work will be performed on KY 61 between mile point 14.5 (Scotts Ferry Road) to KY 704 (mile point 17). Flaggers will maintain traffic during the work.
The project includes microsurfacing paving, a high-tech process that uses a thin layer of quick-set, grout-like paving material to preserve the roadway surface. It seals pavement cracks, prevents pavement from degrading and can improve surface friction.
KYTC ask motorists to be aware of the work zone, expect delays, and to utilize safe driving habits when traveling through the area.
Work is expected to be completed in approximately 6-8 weeks. The start and duration of work may be adjusted for inclement weather or other unforeseeable delays. Drivers should expect delays and are encouraged to allow extra time in reaching their destination.
