Our road crew is out salting and scraping our county roads. As the temperature drops, slick spots will be across the county roadway. Please drive with caution and give them room to treat the roads. The salt will not work well with the cold temperatures coming in the morning so expect some slick spots. If you have to be out drive with caution. Stay safe out there.

🚧 ‼️ ROAD CLOSURE NOTICE ‼️ 🚧
Please be aware of an upcoming major traffic change:
📅 Saturday, December 13th – Sunday, December 21st
⛔ Exit 35 (KY 53 / Mt. Eden Road) WESTBOUND — coming from Frankfort — will be FULLY CLOSED.
This closure is necessary to rebuild the off-ramp and prepare for the traffic shift onto the new section of the KY 53 / Exit 35 bridge.
To keep your travel smooth, here are the QUICKEST ALTERNATE ROUTES:
➡️ Waddy Exit (Exit 43 – KY 395)
Take KY 395 to US 60, then come into Shelbyville from that direction.
➡️ Graefenburg Exit (Exit 48 – KY 151)
Take KY 151 to US 60 and follow it into town.
➡️ Walmart Exit (Exit 32 – Taylorsville Road)
You can go past the closure and use Exit 32, then backtrack into Shelbyville.
As this is a lengthy closure, it’s a good idea to try out these alternate routes and get comfortable with them ahead of time.
Thank you for your patience as this important work moves forward — and safe travels, Shelbyville! 🚗✨
