Milling and paving projects to result in delays, parking restrictions in Estill County

Milling and Paving May Cause Delays
    JACKSON, KY – Milling and paving on three highways in Estill County will result in traffic delays and some parking restrictions beginning Thursday, Sept. 11. Resurfacing is scheduled for the following routes:
        • KY 52 (River Drive in Irvine and Main Street in Ravenna) between Court Street
          and KY 1571,
        • KY 2461 (Broadway in Irvine) between KY 89 and KY 52 in Ravenna, and
        • KY 1571 (Millers Creek Road, also known as River Road) between KY 52
          at both ends.
    Prior to paving, milling of the existing pavement will take place. Milling of the curb-and-gutter section of KY 52 will begin Thursday, Sept. 11, and will continue through Friday if necessary. Paving will begin on Saturday. Drivers should expect delays while this work is ongoing.
    Milling on Broadway will begin on Monday morning, Sept. 15, with paving scheduled for the following day. Parking on Broadway will be restricted on these days, and all vehicles will need to be moved off the street while the work is ongoing. The Irvine Division of Police will be notifying residents along Broadway of the parking restrictions.
    Bridge ends on KY 1571 will be milled on Tuesday and Wednesday, Sept. 16-17, with paving to follow thereafter. This will impact travel between Beattyville and Irvine and drivers should expect delays while the work is underway.
    All schedules are tentative and subject to change due to the weather or other unforeseen events. Drivers should slow down as they approach these construction zones, watch for stopped traffic and obey the directions of flaggers. Motorists are asked to be aware of workers, traffic control devices and construction equipment when traveling in these and other areas where projects are ongoing.
