The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is preparing to activate a new traffic signal at the intersection of U.S. 27 and KY 70 in Eubank.

The new signal will be placed in flashing mode on Monday, Dec. 27, to allow motorists to become familiar with the signal. Motorists traveling U.S. 27 will continue to have the right of way. The KY 70 approaches will continue to be stop controlled and will be given a flashing red signal to indicate stop.

The signal will remain in flashing mode approximately two weeks before placed into full red-yellow-green operation. 

Motorists are encouraged to exercise caution while driving through this intersection as crews continue work to install and test the signal.

The dates for the signal activation may be adjusted for inclement weather or other unforeseeable delays. Drivers who travel this interchange should be alert for changes in traffic flow this new signal will create.
