A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans roving night work caravan to replace and repair center line raised reflector lenses along highways in Marshall County starting tonight.
This night moving work caravan will be on the road between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m. nightly for a couple of weeks when weather permits.
While this moving work zone will extend into other counties in coming weeks, the initial round of overnight work will start in Marshall County along the following highways:
