Motorists advised about mowing
FLEMINGSBURG - Motorists should remain aware of contractors and highway crews mowing roadsides in northeast Kentucky throughout the summer months.
Contractors are working along Interstate 64 and U.S. 23, and plan to start mowing along the A-A Highway next week.
In addition, Department of Highways District 9 crews conduct mowing operations each summer along state routes in Bath, Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Fleming, Greenup, Lewis, Mason, Nicholas and Rowan counties.
Motorists are asked to be on the lookout for mowing crews and to use extra caution when driving through a mowing zone.
Fast-moving traffic is intimidating for highway workers, including those on mowing tractors. That’s why the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet asks the public to help put safety first by slowing down and using appropriate discretion when crews are working.
The Cabinet spends about $25 million annually for mowing and litter removal statewide. About 75 percent of the work is performed by contractors.
