HIGHWAY DISTRICT 12 — Motorists in Johnson, Floyd, Lawrence, Martin, Pike, Letcher and Knott counties can expect a slow-moving truck and equipment caravan as districtwide paint striping begins this week.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 12 announced that crews would be painting yellow and white lines along state routes over the next six to eight weeks.

Motorists can expect short delays on bridges, narrow roadways and slow-moving traffic from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, KYTC says.

Crews will move at 10-12mph while striping so that paint can fully coat and adhere to the roadways. The contractor will make frequent stops to allow traffic to pass safely.

KYTC advises drivers to pay close attention to signage and slow down when passing the moving work zone.

Oglesby Construction will perform the work.
