Motorists are reminded to be on alert as litter pickup and mowing are ramping up along Interstate 24 through Kentucky starting Tuesday.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, crews are starting at the Trigg-Christian County Line near mile marker 69 and are working westward toward Lyon County and eventually to the I-24 Ohio River Bridge at Paducah.
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.
Motorists should be alert for litter pickup crews working ahead of the mowing crews. Due to recent drought conditions, motorists should also be alert for dust generated by mowing operations.
