A contractor for the Transportation Cabinet began a cable maintenance project on the Natcher Bridge on March 24—with drivers now facing lane restrictions as all traffic moved to one northbound lane in each direction—and the agency will shift lanes to southbound use in late summer or early fall as the project is set to finish by March 2026.

Today the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will block Barron Drive KY2707 and Middleground Drive West at their meeting with Carter Road KY2698 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. to install new traffic signals+ officials explained that special lower clearance mast arm poles were chosen because of high voltage lines and the signals will flash for about two weeks to help drivers adjust.
