Crews work along I-71/75 northbound
Orange Barrels
Mean Progress

 KYTC is investing more than one-quarter of a billion dollars in infrastructure improvements in our area just this year.

That’s a lot of work.

And it will mean a good number of orange barrels along some major roadways. 

While we understand those orange barrels may slow you down a bit, we hope when you see them, you will think about all of the positive growth and progress that is taking place in Northern Kentucky. 

 'tis the season . . .
We're making progress and improving travel on multiple projects throughout NKY:

Pavement repair work continues on I-275 eastbound from Turfway Road (KY 717), just east of the Mineola Pike exit, to Dixie Highway (US 25).

Major work also is underway at the intersection of Weaver Rd. and US 42 , on Mt. Zion Rd. and on Pleasant Valley Rd.

Please travel safely throughout our project areas.
