Road report: KYTC work in progress this week on Boone, Kenton and Campbell roads


The following work is planned on Boone, Kenton and Campbell roads by KYTC District Six. Inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances may occur so this work is subject to change without notice.

KENTON AND CAMPBELL COUNTIES

A preventive maintenance project is in progress on multiple routes in Kenton and Campbell counties.

The project includes crack sealing, electrical work and application of a thin asphalt overlay known as a thinlay. Thinlays are used as a pavement preservation treatment to restore surface conditions and extend the service life of roads that are still structurally sound.

Crack sealing operations and some electrical work items are complete. Pavement work is scheduled to begin Tuesday, Aug. 12.
