A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close Towne Squire Court at KY 2121/Southtown Boulevard in Owensboro on Monday, January 23.

The closure of Towne Square Court is to faciliate ongoing reconstruction of KY 2121/Southtown Boulevard.  The contractor will be constructing a reinforced concrete box culvert across Towne Square Court.  This work will require Towne Square Court to be closed from Southtown Boulevard to Nicholas Drive.  Towne Square Court will be accessed via Black Square Drive.

Martin Luther King, Jr. Loop in Owensboro will be closed to traffic beginning on January 3.  The closure is to allow the contractor to install a reinforced concrete box culvert across the roadway. 

This closure of Martin Luther King, Jr. Loop is between KY 2121/Southtown and US 431/Frederica Street.  Signage and barricades will be set up to notify the driving public of the closure.

MLK, Jr Loop is expected to be closed until approximately February 3, weather permitting. 

Owensboro Transit System will offer free bus rides during the Twelve Days of Christmas, starting Saturday morning.

OTS  has offered these rides right before the holidays for years now.

Transit officials say this is just a way to show their appreciation to all their patrons, especially during a busy time of year where many are strapped for cash.

You can ride the bus between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 a.m. Monday through Friday and 8:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on Saturday from Saturday through December 23.
