East Kentucky Power has scheduled rolling road blocks for March 20 on I-71/75 so that road crews can pull a line across the interstate just north of the Rest Area (177.13 mile-marker).
Starting at 6 a.m, the road blocks will begin at U.S. 42 southbound and at the I-71/75 split northbound, approximately 10 MPH. If the process goes smoothly, the project should be completed by 7 a.m. Law enforcement will assist with the traffic control.
During this time the following ramps will also be closed for approximately 15-20 minutes:
- KY 338 (Richwood Road) northbound entrance ramp
- The northbound Rest Area entrance ramp
- KY 18 and Mall Road southbound entrance ramp
- U.S 42 southbound entrance ramp
- KY 536 (Mt. Zion Road) southbound entrance ramp
The work is weather dependent so drivers can expect short delays.
