Today's News

I take the headline for today’s column from the 1963 movie of the same name. That movie, which I’m happy to recommend, featured a cast that was a virtual who’s who of the stars of that day, including Spencer Tracy, Milton Berle, Ethel Merman, Sid Caesar, Buddy Hackett, Mickey Rooney and Jonathan Winters.

The plot involves the dying words of a thief, which spark a crazy, cross-country race to find a hidden treasure.   

Road projects continue

Construction delays are expected on Interstate 64 between the Jefferson/Shelby County line and the Simpsonville exit (mile points 23.2 to 28.1) because of roadway widening. Shutdowns of the eastbound and westbound lanes at Simpsonville for the demolition of the Buck Creek Road overpass were expected to end this morning.

Several other resurfacing projects are under way in Shelby County this week. The are:

LEXINGTON – Forget about frying an egg on a sidewalk.

If you’re planning to head west of Shelbyville on Interstate 64 Monday or Tuesday nights, you might need to allow a little more time.

That shutdown of I-64 at the Simpsonville exit to allow the demolition of the Buck Creek Road (KY 1848) overpass, originally scheduled for tonight and Friday night, won’t begin until 7 p.m. Monday.
