Stop searching. Start finding. 

The nearly $2 million pavement rehabilitation project in Southgate started with lane closures on April 8.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has been replacing aging concrete with new asphalt at the U.S. 27 and Interstate 471 interchange, which has required lane closures, weekend ramp closures and a closure on Moock Road at U.S. 27, according to KYTC.

"We are excited to address the deteriorated pavement at the U.S. 27 and I-471 interchange," said Bob Yeager, chief district engineer for KYTC District 6. "This will improve the commute for the residents and motorists who live and travel within this area."


The $1.8 million project, awarded to The Harper Company, is expected to be complete in October, 2019.
