PADUCAH, Ky. (April 18, 2020) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to have a mobile caravan working along highways in several KYTC District 1 Counties starting Monday, April 20, 2020.
The contractor will be installing reflective pavement markers using a mobile operation. The work caravan will include a number of support vehicles with arrow boards to direct traffic around the crew as they go about their work.
This slow-moving mobile operation plans to work during daylight hours anytime weather allows at the following locations:
Graves County
KY 121 at 10.28 to 10.842 mile marker- Between Eagles Way/Luisa Lane and KY 1830/Jimtown Road at the North edge of Mayfield
McCracken County

Trigg County
U.S. 68 at 24.6 to 28.12 mile marker- From Broadbent Road near the I-24 Cadiz Exit 65 Interchange extending eastward to the Trigg-Christian County Line
The crew plans to start in Graves County around Noon, Monday, then move to the locations in McCracken and Trigg counties.
On sections of 4-lane highway, the mobile crew will be working along both directions of travel.
Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and other personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
Weather permitting, the reflective marker installation work in KYTC District 1 is expected to take about five days to complete.
