| News Release | Bath | 8/18/2017 | 10/15/2017 | | | | | The Kentucky Department of Highways has granted a permit to Marathon Petroleum Corporation for contractors to build an office access road at the US 23 and KY 538 (Lake Bonita Road) intersection at Catlettsburg, including turn lanes on US 23 and new signals.
The construction will require one-lane traffic on US 23 in both directions between the I-64 interchange and Mayo Trail.

In addition, the continuous right turn lane from southbound KY 1/7 to westbound I-64 will be closed. All traffic to westbound I-64 must use the turn lane at the on- and off-ramp traffic light.
Because of the high volume of traffic at the interstate overpass, lengthy delays are possible during construction. Motorists should adjust travel plans accordingly, or seek alternate routes. Pedestrians must use the side of the highway that’s not under construction.
No work or lane closures will take place Aug. 6-12 to accommodate Carter County Fair and back-to-school traffic. Work will resume Aug. 14. Night work is possible on the project. Motorists should watch message boards for traffic and construction schedule changes.
