KYTC contractor to mow along I-24 in coming days

Contractors are continuing mowing work along I-24 in western Kentucky over the next few weeks.

Motorists are reminded to be on alert as a contractor ramps up the final round of litter pickup and mowing along Interstate 24 through Kentucky starting in the next couple days.

The contractor plans to begin along I-24 near the end of the I-24 Ohio River Bridge and work eastward to the 70 mile marker.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says that will include stretches in Trigg, Caldwell and Lyon counties.

Mowing zones will be marked by appropriate signage and should be treated with the same respect and caution as other work zones.

Drivers are urged to reduce their travel speed and be alert for slow-moving tractors and support vehicles that may be required to travel into and across travel lanes from time to time as they go about their work.
