Kenergy plans an outage in the Owensboro area to allow a transformer to be replaced. This utility work will require cutting power to the traffic signal at the KY 298/Old Hartford Road Intersection with KY 3143/Fairview Drive/Foors Lane in Owensboro on Wednesday morning, August 5. This signal is expected to be out of service from about 6:30 a.m., CDT, on Wednesday to about 10 a.m., on Wednesday. During the outage appropriate signage will be placed at this intersection to allow it to function as a 4-way stop. Motorists should be aware of this signal outage and changes it will create in traffic flow at this busy intersection. Motorists should expect delays and may consider taking an alternate route, if possible, on Wednesday morning. This intersection is at KY 298 mile point 7.731 and KY 3143 mile point 0.929. More than 8,000 vehicles travel through this intersection in an average day.
