A traffic change will be in place on the Mountain Parkway in Magoffin County for Wednesday, June 18, weather permitting. Striping work will begin midday and be completed late in the afternoon.
Beginning at Mile Point 67 to Mile Point 69, near the Cow Creek interchange, a traffic change will occur that will eliminate two median crossovers for eastbound and westbound traffic. This new traffic configuration will open to the finished alignment of the parkway.
Motorists traveling eastbound and westbound are encouraged to be alert, reduce speeds and use caution when driving through all active work zones.
Message boards, barricades, barrels and signage will be in place to alert motorists to the changes.
Work may be adjusted due to weather or other unforeseen events.
About the Mountain Parkway Expansion
The Mountain Parkway Expansion is a 45-mile transportation improvement project that will create a wider, safer connection between Eastern Kentucky and the rest of the Commonwealth. It is a key transportation project designed to close the only gap in a 400-mile, four-lane, high-speed corridor for commerce and mobility across Kentucky from Pikeville to Paducah.
The project will widen 32 miles of existing parkway to four lanes and extend the parkway by 13 miles between Salyersville to Prestonsburg.
