"Summer Scrub" Time On Highways
KENTUCKY...
Volunteers will be out in force the second week of June to summer scrub state roads in the seven counties of Highway District 12. The Transportation Cabinet announced the Adopt-a-Highway Summer Scrub Week will be held June 6-12. 1,100 groups now participate in Kentucky's Adopt-a-Highway program, which the cabinet established in 1988. Volunteers clean approximately 8,000 miles of roadsides annually and set an example of responsible environmental stewardship. Twenty-two percent of available roadways in District 12 are adopted. The district includes Lawrence, Johnson, Martin, Floyd, Knott, Pike, and Letcher counties.
