If your travel plans include U.S. 127 through Lincoln County, be sure to give yourself some extra travel time in the coming weeks….

A series of four bridge deck restoration and waterproofing projects are scheduled to begin next week on U.S. 127 in Lincoln County. 

Beginning Monday, Oct. 18, U.S. 127 will be reduced to one lane in Hustonville at mile point 3.4 (Hanging Fork) to mile point 3.5 (Baughman Branch) as crews begin work on the first two structures to be addressed.

Temporary traffic signals will be in place on the north and south bound approaches for the lane closure. In addition, temporary traffic signals will also be place on the east and west bound approaches on KY 78.

Two additional structures along U.S. 127 will also undergo bridge deck improvements. Currently crews are anticipating work to begin at mile point 8.4 (Harris Creek) the week of Nov. 1. The final structure at mile point 10.3 (Knob Lick) will begin late November.

Each structure is scheduled for completion within 30 days.

Lane widths on U.S. 127 will be reduced to 13 ft. until all structures have been completed.

KYTC asks motorists to be aware of the work zone, expect delays, and to utilize safe driving habits when traveling through the area.
