Preventive maintenance project underway on US68 in Green Co.

By Chris Jessie

Preparation is underway for a Cape Seal pavement preservation project along US 68 in Green County between the KY 61 intersection on the east side of Greensburg and the Taylor County Line. The next phase of the project is a Chip Seal type treatment, which is scheduled to begin on Monday, June 17th.

Motorists should be aware they will be driving on a surface containing fine gravel until the final phase of the project is complete. The final phase will consist of a thin-layer application of asphalt in a couple of weeks.


Pavement preservation is high priority for roads throughout the state. With reduced resurfacing budgets, we are using these projects to prolong pavement life and quality. When finished, the Cape Seal will provide an extended lifespan for a stretch of road that would likely need resurfacing within the next few years.

Motorists should pay close attention to posted signage and be prepared to stop through the work zone. Flaggers may be present when crews are working. Short delays may be possible.

The project schedule will be impacted by any unfavorable weather conditions.
