KYTC to construct new turning lane to alleviate congestion

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (Sept. 20, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning a project on KY 80 (Murray Highway) in Graves County next week that will look to alleviate congestion and improve motorists’ safety during peak travel hours.

Traffic at the 12.8 to 12.9 mile points of KY 80 from Tuesday, Sept. 24, through Friday, Sept. 27 as KYTC constructs a new turning lane at the intersection of KY 80, KY 97 and KY 121 (South Castleman Bypass) in Mayfield. The new lane will carry traffic that is turning onto KY 121 northbound.

The blockage is planned each day from 8 a.m. to 2:30 p.m.

Some delays are possible during the movement and placement of equipment to facilitate the work.
