The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 6 Office announced single lane closure on Wednesday, April 26, ahead of a microsurface paving project on U.S. 27, or Alexandria Pike.
Crews will work on U.S. 27 from KY 824 (Race Track Road) to KY 1936 (Kenton Station Road).
Work is expected between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. Road crews will set up single-lane closures on U.S. 27 northbound and southbound. This part of the project, which includes asphalt milling and patching, is anticipated to last one day.
The microsurface paving portion of the project on U.S. 27 extends from Marl-Rich Lane to the intersection of KY 824/Race Track Road. Work is scheduled to occur between 7 a.m. and 7 p.m. Single-lane closures will occur throughout the project. One lane of traffic will remain open in each direction. Occasionally, crews may be required to stop traffic at an intersection temporarily.
Microsurface paving is a surface treatment designed to extend the life of asphalt roadway surfaces that are still in good condition. The new surface will protect and preserve pavement against road deterioration by providing better skid resistance, restricting moisture intrusion, reducing oxidation and raveling, and restoring the roadway profile and characteristics.
Timeline for the project:
- Monday, April 24: the contractor will remove the reflective pavement markers, thermoplastic striping, and markings from the road.
- Tuesday, May 2 through Monday, May 8: the microsurface paving portion of the project will begin. Expect lane closures during this period.
- Monday, May 15: crews will finish striping the roadway following the microsurface paving.
