Paving on US 62X in Maysville starts Saturday, continues next week

Paving to accommodate morning commuters

FLEMINGSBURG, Ky. – While contractors plan to work days and nights next week to repave a busy section of US 62X/68 in Maysville, accommodations will be made for morning commuters.

The work is part of a $455,000 resurfacing project the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet awarded to Eaton Asphalt Paving Co. Inc. to improve 1.2 miles of US 62X/68 from KY 9 to Moody Drive.

Beginning Saturday, Sept. 26, motorists should watch for lane closures as contractors mill away old asphalt and conduct other preparation work.

Full paving operations are expected to begin Monday, Sept. 28, and will continue throughout the day and night through Thursday, weather permitting.

To alleviate traffic concerns, contractors plan to remove all lane restrictions during rush hours each morning – approximately 6 a.m. to 8:30 a.m.

During work hours, traffic will be controlled by flaggers. Motorists should watch for lane closures and “Drive Smart” through all construction zones.
