US 60 Closed in Livingston Co for Weekend Work

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close a section of US Hwy 60 in Livingston County on Saturday and Sunday.

KYTC Spokesman Keith Todd said US 60 will be closed at mile point 18.5 in Livingston County to allow a new section of highway in the Dyer Hill Curve project to be tied to the existing roadway.

US 60 is expected to close at 6:00 am Saturday. It is expected to reopen to traffic at around 6:00 pm Sunday. A marked detour will be provided. 

Todd said closing US 60 at the site is the most efficient and least disruptive way to complete the work.  He said if the contractor had tried to transition to the new roadway while maintaining traffic flow through the work zone, it would have disrupted traffic off and on for two weeks.
