Highway Safety Improvement Project Beginning This Week in Pulaski County

Construction is set to begin this week at the intersection of KY 914 and Slate Branch Road (KY 1642) in Pulaski County. This project will build a Reduced Conflict U-Turn (RCUT) intersection designed to improve safety, traffic flow, and capacity.

What to Expect:

• Intermittent lane closures during construction

• Project completion expected by July 31, 2026

What is an RCUT?

An RCUT helps reduce crashes and improve traffic movement by changing how left turns and cross-traffic movements are made. Drivers from the side road will turn right first, then use a designated U-turn lane when clear.

Benefits include:

• Better sight distance

• Shorter wait times

• Fewer conflict points and reduced crash risk

Please slow down, stay alert, and use caution in the work zone.
