Work is to begin on Warsaw on Monday. See the following from the KY Transportation Cabinet:

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that a safety improvement project will begin on Monday, Oct. 13, on a portion of Warsaw Road (KY 467) in Grant County.

Work will take place on Warsaw Road beginning just west of Sipple Road (mile point 3.8) extending to just east of Huff Road (mile point 9.0), a distance of 5.20 miles.

The project includes several upgrades to improve driver safety, such as roadway regrading, signage improvements, guardrail work, tree trimming, cribbing, culvert work and utility relocation.

To allow crews to complete the work, a single lane closure will be in place from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. Flaggers will be on-site to guide traffic through the work zone.

Hinkle Environmental Services LLC is contracted to perform the $3.4 million project on behalf of KYTC. Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed by July 31, 2026.

Project schedules are subject to change due to inclement weather or other unforeseen circumstances.
