• VARIOUS ROUTES: Districtwide striping is in progress. Contractors will be striping various routes within the district: Boone, Bracken, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, Harrison, Kenton, Owen, Pendleton, and Robertson. Most work will occur during daytime working hours of 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Routes with higher traffic volume will be completed during nights or weekends to minimize traffic impacts.

  Contractors are currently striping in:​
  Center line yellow paint: Boone and Kenton counties.
  Edge line white paint: Pendleton and Kenton counties.

  Interstate routes will be completed first followed by primary state routes then secondary routes. Striping is a slow-moving mobile operation. Motorists should slow down and expect slow moving traffic in mobile work zones. Please avoid driving over fresh, wet paint. The project has a completion date of Aug. 15, 2024.​​

VARIOUS COUNTIES

​Beginning Sunday, June 2, Contractors will install wrong-way pavement striping and thermoplastic markings on various interchanges and exit ramps in Boone, Campbell, Carroll, Gallatin, Grant, and Kenton counties in an effort to improve safety.​

Work will be performed from 6:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m. 

Current Location of Work: Work on the I-471 southbound exit ramp to Dave Cowens Drive (Exit 5) (KY 8X) is now complete. The last ramp crews need to address is I-75 southbound exit 166 to Crittenden. This work is scheduled to take place in the next couple of weeks. Contractors are coordinating with the on-going I-75 resurfacing project to determine the best timing to apply the thermoplastic striping.

Lane closures will be in place during work hours. At locations with three or more lanes, one lane of traffic in each direction will be maintained. At locations with two lanes, alternating one-way traffic will be maintained with a flagger on site to direct motorists. Traffic on exit ramps will be maintained at partial-width (10 ft. minimum) lanes.
