Significant traffic impacts are expected; drivers should plan alternate routes
Paving work is expected along KY 351 on or after Sunday, Nov. 10, and significant traffic impacts are expected. Drivers should anticipate restrictions and closures in the area and plan alternate routes.
What to Expect
- KY 351/2nd Street/Zion Road will be reduced to a single lane (from Klutey Park Drive to N. Arlington Drive), starting around 5 p.m. Sunday. Flaggers will be in place to direct traffic.
- The US 41 southbound on-ramp and northbound off-ramp, as well as the KY 2084 interchange near Palmer’s Market, are expected to close around the same time and will be closed for several hours.
- The US 41 southbound off-ramp and northbound on-ramp will close later in the evening and will be closed for several hours. Drivers can use the KY 2084 interchange as an alternate route.
Multiple crews will be working to complete the final asphalt surface in a single night. The work is scheduled to begin Sunday evening and to be complete by 6 a.m. Monday. If there is inclement weather, the work is expected to shift to Monday evening with closures not scheduled to begin until 7 p.m. Monday and end by 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Drivers should avoid the area and plan alternate routes, if possible. Anticipated schedules are subject to change based on weather and other factors.
The work is part of the final steps to open the KY 351 roundabouts to two lanes open of traffic. A targeted date to open the roundabouts in their final configuration will be shared closer to time.
Two-Lane Roundabouts: What to Know
Drivers need to remember a few key steps to prepare for using two-lane roundabouts:
- Drivers should get in the appropriate lane before entering the roundabout.
- They will use the right lane to go straight or right.
- They will use the left lane to go straight, left or make a U-turn.
Directional maps and videos, along with a downloadable handout, are available on the Roundabout Ready webpage on the project website.
