LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WAVE) - To keep Kentucky drivers and construction crews safe, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced it is installing automated speed enforcement devices in active highway work zones.

The first devices will be placed on the U.S. 25 work zone in Fayette County, an I-75 work zone near Corbin, and one on I-64 in Shelby County. The devices will not be active at first, giving drivers time to adjust to the presence of the new technology before enforcement begins in October.

House Bill 664, known as the Jared Lee Helton Act, authorizes automated speed enforcement in active work zones.

Passed by the legislature and signed into law by Gov. Andy Beshear earlier this year, the act is named in honor of a Kentucky highway worker who lost his life in a work zone crash. Bil
