THE KENTUCKY TRANSPORTATION CABINET HAS A MOWING CREW WORKING ALONG INTERSTATE 24 FROM THE 40 TO 76 MILE MARKER THROUGH PARTS OF LYON, CALDWELL AND TRIGG COUNTIES THIS WEEK. THE CREW IS MOWING AREAS COVERED BY NATIVE GRASS PLANTINGS THAT ARE NOT ROUTINELY MOWED BY CONTRACTORS DURING THE SUMMER MONTHS. THE MOWING IS PART OF THISTLE CONTROL EFFORTS AND TO IMPROVE THE AESTHETIC LOOK OF THE RIGHT-OF-WAY.
HIGHWAY OFFICIALS NOTE THAT WHILE MOST OF THIS WORK IS BACK OFF THE ROADWAY, OPERATORS WILL SOMETIMES HAVE TO CROSS TRAVEL LANES WITH THEIR EQUIPMENT AS THEY GO ABOUT THEIR ASSIGNED WORK. MOTORISTS TRAVELING I-24 BETWEEN THE 40 AND 76 MILE MARKERS SHOULD BE ALERT FOR TRACTORS AND SUPPORT VEHICLES ALONG THE ROADWAY IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO TRAFFIC FLOW.
AFTER WORK ALONG I-24 IS COMPLETE, CREWS WILL MOVE TO THE JULIAN CARROLL-JACKSON PURCHASE PARKWAY.
