U.S. Highway 68/80 Construction Update
Four lane road construction on the portion of Hwy 68/80, which runs east-west through LBL, from Canton to Aurora, KY continues throughout the year. Be aware of lane shifts on US Hwy 68/80 near where it crosses over The Trace, near the LBL entrance onto Golden Pond Road and just after you cross the KY Lake Bridge. The speed limit in these areas is 45 mile per hour. Motorists can expect to encounter construction in this extended work zone 24 hours a day, seven days a week. This includes construction equipment and trucks crossing through existing traffic lanes of Hwy 68/80 in LBL. Visitors may tune into 1610AM when traveling in this area for updates.
For your safety and the safety of everyone involved in the project please slow down, be alert, and use caution in work zones. Motorists are advised to pay attention to construction signage, reduced speed limit, construction workers, and equipment. For more information of the LBL segment of Hwy 68/80 please visit www.us68lbl.com.
