The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that significant traffic pattern changes will take place Friday, Dec. 16, at the intersection of KY 461 and Coin Road/Pin Oak Drive in Pulaski County as part of a transformative project to improve safety, reduce traffic congestion and support economic development.

On Friday, crews will open the newly constructed bridge connecting Coin Road and Pin Oak Drive. The new traffic patterns are part of the ongoing KY 461 improvement project, which includes the replacing of the intersection at Coin Road/Pin Oak Drive.

Motorists should be prepared for the following changes:

• Traffic traveling Coin Road/Pin Oak Drive seeking to travel to Mt. Vernon will use the Pin Oak Connector to access northbound KY 461.
• Motorists wanting to access southbound KY 461 will use the Coin Road Connector. 
• Southbound KY 461 will use the Coin Road Connector to access Coin Road/Pin Oak Dr.
• Northbound KY 461 traffic traveling Coin Road/Pin Oak Dr. will use the Pin Oak Dr. Connector. 

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.
