BALLARD COUNTY - An extended daytime work zone along a section of U.S. 62 near the Ballard-Carlisle County line will begin Monday.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the road will be restricted to one lane between the county line and the 1.2 mile point in Lovelaceville to allow brush cutting and drainage work along the roadway.

During periods of flash flooding, water has been over the roadway in this area from time to time.  This work is aimed at reducing the likelihood that roadway flooding will occur.

This work zone is expected to be active from around 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. each day through about May 22.

Drivers should watch for slowing and stopped traffic as they approach this work zone.
