KYTC Mowing Crews Are Active Across District 1 Counties; Please Use Caution

PADUCAH, Ky. (May 4, 2026) – Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) mowing crews are currently active in counties across District 1.

Motorists are urged to slow down and exercise caution when approaching mowing zones. Tractors may occasionally have to cross travel lanes as crews go about their work.
KYTC crews in every county will be working during daylight hours, as weather permits. Be alert for support vehicles and workers near the roadway.

As a reminder, political signs and other advertising are not permitted on state highway right of way and should be removed. State highway personnel may remove signs without notice to the owner.

Signs that are removed will generally be held for 10 working days at the local KYTC Department of Highway Maintenance Facility, allowing owners a chance to claim them. Unclaimed signs will be discarded.

District 1 counties include Ballard, Calloway, Carlisle, Crittenden, Fulton, Graves, Hickman, Livingston, Lyon, Marshall, McCracken and Trigg.
