(KBSI) The Paducah-McCracken Co. Joint Sewer Agency (JSA) plans daytime lane restrictions along Park Avenue from N. 21st Street to N. 22nd Street in Paducah on Wednesday, Oct. 15.

In order to repair a sewer line, the left lanes of eastbound and westbound Park Avenue and center turn lane in this area will be blocked. This is near McNabb Elementary School.

Work will begin at approximately 8:30 a.m. and the roadway is expected to reopen by 3 p.m. to allow for school traffic.

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is planning a work zone lane restriction along eastbound U.S. 60/Hinkleville Road/Park Avenue in McCracken County starting Wednesday, Oct. 22, weather permitting.

This will be between High Street and Allen Lane, or about mile points 11.5 to 11.83.

Motorists should watch for signs guiding traffic into the open lane in the work zone. Traffic will be shifted from one lane to the other.

The concrete rehab project is expected to be completed by early December.

When crews arrive near mile point 11.83, the intersection will need to be temporarily blocked, and access to U.S. 60 from Allen Lane will be unavailable during that time.

Please use caution where workers and equipment are near traffic flow.

Weather permitting, work will take place Monday, Oct. 27 through Friday, Oct. 31 from 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

The work zone will be marked with signs. Motorists are urged to use extreme caution while traveling near the area.
