Upgraded roadway lighting with LEDs coming to Parkway

By Amber Hale

Somerset, KY - An important upgrade of highway lighting with energy-saving LED fixtures will get underway Tuesday, February 8, 2021, in District 8. The highway lighting upgrades in District 8, which are expected to be completed in March, will take place in various locations in Adair, Pulaski, Rockcastle and Russell counties.

It's part of a project to replace thousands of lower-efficiency roadway fixtures across the commonwealth by early 2022.

Crews will begin lighting upgrades next week in Pulaski County at Exit 86 and Exit 88 of the Cumberland Parkway and at the intersection of KY 80 and KY 914. Motorists may see temporary partial ramp, single lane, and/or shoulder closures while work progresses.



Work is expected to be completed in these locations in one week. The starting date and duration may be adjusted for inclement weather or other unforeseeable delays.

Altogether, KYTC plans to replace more than 18,000 lights with new LEDs (light emitting diodes), which last longer and require less energy, yet provide greater visibility. That means greater driving safety with less maintenance.
