New Ramp Construction to Begin in Owensboro

    Orange barrels are coming to Owensboro.

    A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to begin construction of new ramps at the KY 54/East Parrish Avenue Interchange with U.S. 60/Wendell Ford Expressway in Owensboro.

    They will start Tuesday, March 12, 2013.
 
    The project will align ramps to and from U.S. 60 with a new signalized intersection on KY 54 at the entrance to the new Heartlands Crossing/Menards Development. It will include a new right turn lane for eastbound KY 54/East Parrish Avenue traffic to enter U.S. 60 westbound, and feature an extended acceleration lane for both eastbound and westbound traffic from KY 54 transitioning to U.S. 60 westbound lanes.

    In addition to new ramps at the KY 54/U.S. 60 interchange, the project includes intersection improvements on KY 54 at the intersection with East Byers Avenue/Ragu Drive immediately west of the U.S. 60 Interchange.
 
    As this construction work ramps up the traveling public can expect to encounter lane restrictions, as well as flaggers, equipment, and construction personnel working in close proximity to traffic flow. 
    
    Appropriate caution is required.
