BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (WBKO) — A project to improve safety and traffic flow at the intersection of KY 234 Johnny Webb Boulevard and KY 880 Lovers Lane will begin Monday, transportation officials announced.

The work, scheduled during nighttime hours from 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., will include lane closures. Most of the project is expected to be completed by late November.

According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, the current left-turn lane from KY 234 to KY 880 often creates traffic backups. Expanding the turn lanes will provide more storage and help reduce congestion.

Motorists are advised to expect delays and exercise caution while traveling through the area.

The $403,000 contract was awarded in June to Scotty’s Contracting & Stone LLC.
