KYTC: Westbound U.S. 60 back open in Hancock Co.

HANCOCK, CO., Ky. (WFIE) - The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced the reopening of both lanes on westbound U.S. 60.

When crews began construction earlier this year, traffic was restricted to the left lane of the eastbound side of the highway.

Now, both westbound lanes are open, however one lane restriction remains in place.

A release shows that restriction is a block in the left lane near the intersection of U.S. 60 and KY 3543.

KYTC says traffic on eastbound U.S. 60 will remain restricted to just one lane while work is completed on that side of the highway.

We’re told final paving of the project area is set for the spring of 2025.
