PIKEVILLE, Ky.(July 30, 2024) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet advises motorists of delays and temporary lane closures along KY 3 from Louisa to Fallsburg in Lawrence County. The project will pave KY 3 from MP 17.052 (Intersection of KY 3 and US 23) to MP 19.607 (Intersection of KY 3 and KY 1185) for a total of 2.55 miles.

Crews will begin operations on Wednesday, July 31, at 7 a.m. Work will occur daily from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. over the next one to two weeks. During this time, traffic will be delayed by 10-15 minute increments while the paving equipment is in use. Both the north and southbound traffic lanes, as well as shoulders, will be resurfaced.
