After being held up due to heavy rainfall, crews have started another round of mowing along Kentucky state highways. As weather and soil conditions have allowed, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet highway crews and contractors have ramped up mowing and litter removal activities.
Mowing zones will be marked by appropriate signage and should be treated with the same respect and caution as any other work zone. Drivers are urged to slow down and watch for slow-moving tractors and support vehicles that may be required to travel into and across travel lanes from time to time as they go about their work. Motorists should also be mindful of personnel in close proximity to traffic flow in areas with ongoing mowing or litter removal activities.
Contractors are working along area Interstates, parkways, and US highways. State crews are ramping up mowing activities on U.S. Highways, as well as along rural secondary highways in many Western Kentucky counties.
Mowing and litter crews will continue to have active work zones across the region anytime weather conditions allow for about the next month.
Motorists are asked to use extra caution where maintenance personnel and equipment are working along highways in close proximity to traffic flow.
