The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that significant traffic pattern changes will take place Tuesday, Nov. 1, at the intersection of KY 461 and KY 80 in Pulaski County as part of a transformative project to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion and support economic development.

Traffic changes include lane shifts and travel on a ramp. This is necessary for the ongoing KY 461 improvement project, which includes the replacing of the intersection at KY 80.

Motorists should be prepared for the following changes:

• Southbound KY 461 traffic traveling to London will continue straight on the new alignment, cross the bridge and exit right to loop around toward London.
• Eastbound KY 80 traffic seeking to access KY 461 will continue straight onto the new alignment, cross the bridge and continue north toward Mt. Vernon.
• Eastbound KY 80 traffic traveling to London will exit right onto current KY 80 to continue east. 
• Westbound KY 80 traffic traveling to Mt. Vernon will make a right turn at the current intersection onto old KY 461 and approach a stop condition to turn north onto the new KY 461 alignment.

Motorists should exercise extreme caution and are advised to slow down, avoid distractions and obey directional signage.

The date may be adjusted for inclement weather or other unforeseeable delays.
