More traffic headaches for Henderson drivers. You will see another detour this weekend. Crews will begin work on the westbound lanes of the U.S. 60 overpass at the Highway 41 Cloverleaf Friday evening. Officials say to find an alternate route.

Earlier this month crews worked on the eastbound lanes. Transportation officials say that went better than expected.

"We finished up about a half a day earlier," said Keith Todd of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, "and have talked to some of the emergency agencies in the Henderson area. There were a few little snags here and there during some of the peak traveling times. But other than that, things did go pretty smoothly during the first phase."

The city of Henderson is allowing Marywood Dr. to become one of the detours for travelers. Construction is expected to end July 2nd.
