Driving the Audubon next week? Expect slow downs

 

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane along the Audubon Parkway in Henderson County starting Monday, April 29.

Both eastbound and westbound traffic on the Audubon Parkway will be restricted in 4-mile segments to allow shoulder and erosion control work along the median.

The crew plans to start at the Audubon Parkway/Pennyrile Parkway Interchange at Henderson and work eastward to about the 8 mile marker along both the eastbound and westbound lanes.  All traffic will move to the right-hand or driving lane in this work zone.

Street expansion associated with freezing followed by street contraction associated with thawing causes potholes.
