I-65 Resurfacing Project in Barren and Edmonson Counties Expected to Start this Week

Lane Closures and Delays Possible, Motorists Urged to Use Caution

Edmonson Voice Report:
A project to resurface a section of Interstate 65 in Barren and Edmonson Counties is expected to begin soon. Various lane closures at various times should be expected from mile points 43 to 48 from today through the end of the year. Motorists should expect delays, traffic congestion, and slowed and stopped traffic during the lane closures.

Crews will begin prep work for the resurfacing phase and drainage work beginning today near the 43 mile marker. Beginning tonight I-65 is expected to be down to one lane between mile markers 46 and 48 from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. for the rest of the week. Project progression will dictate the days the lane closures will take place from now until the project is finished, so motorists should expect construction and lane closures between mile markers 43 to 48 until the end of the year.

The project contract was awarded to Scotty’s Contracting & Stone LLC in April in the amount of $5,799,330.40.
