Expect Delays Next Week as Traffic Signal Is Removed at U.S. 60 & KY 305 in McCracken County
Construction continues on new RCUT
PADUCAH, Ky. (Oct. 16, 2026) – Motorists should expect intermittent delays starting Monday, Oct. 19, in the work zone located along U.S. 60 in McCracken County between mile points 5.9 and 6.6, which includes the KY 305 and Rickman Road intersections.
Construction is underway to convert the intersection to a Reduced Conflict U-Turn (RCUT), which improves safety by eliminating left turns and through movements from the minor street. The design simplifies decision-making for motorists by allowing them to focus on one direction of oncoming traffic at a time, reducing potential conflict points and the risk of serious crashes.
