More paving on Blandville Road in McCracken County

More paving as a part of the widening of US 62/Blandville Road in McCracken County got underway, Wednesday.

The widening project will take Blandville Road to four lanes from Olivet Church Road to McCracken Boulevard.

The work that started Wednesday was out of traffic flow, as traffic was already two-way in what will be the eastbound lanes. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet estimates that this round of paving will take about 2 weeks.

The overall project, which includes the new bridges over Massac Creek, will cost about $7.7 million and be completed by December 1st.
