Road work planned for Webster County on Saturday


A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans a work zone traffic shift along the Breathitt-Pennyrile Parkway in WEBSTER County on Saturday, September 14, 2013. 
Starting Saturday morning, all traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane along the Pennyrile Parkway from mile point 53.11 to mile point 59.3 in Webster County. 
This traffic shift for both northbound and southbound lanes is to facilitate continued milling and paving work along this 6-mile section. Caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow. 
Road Builders is the prime contractor on this almost $2.6 million highway improvement project. The project has a November 1st completion date
