PADUCAH, Ky. (June 29, 2020) — A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans shoulder restrictions along a section of KY 1954/Husbands Road at the Paducah Floodwall the week of July 8, 2020.
This work along KY 1954/Husbands Road at mile point 2.9 near the Clarkline Road intersection is to allow a final round of erosion prevention work to finish out a safety project that started last year. The work site along KY 1954/Husbands Road about a mile south of the I-24 Paducah Exit 11 Interchange.
The contractor anticipates the work can be completed in a couple of days. However, the contractor has allocated all week for the work zone in case there are weather delays.
Most of the work can be completed along the shoulder. However, some brief periods of one lane traffic with alternating flow are possible during the movement and placement of equipment required to facilitate the work. Caution is required.
This work is part of an ongoing Highway Safety Improvement Project (HSIP) along KY 1954/Husbands Road running from KY 348/Hardmoney Road to just north of the Clarkline Road intersection. Most of the work was completed during the 2019 construction season. The contractor and KYTC engineers held off completing the erosion control work to better determine the impact of water flowing through the floodwall drainage system at the site.
