A series of interchange ramp closures are scheduled for eastbound Interstate 64 exit 14 in the city of Covington beginning this weekend.

Brief road closures are also scheduled for South Durant Road in the area of the I-64 interchange. These closures are on Saturdays and Sundays from 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., March 21 to April 5, 2020. They allow crews to pull power lines over the affected roadways.

The utility work is weather dependent and the closure schedule is subject to change.
