Crack sealing is a process of cleaning and filling open joints and cracks in the surface with sealant to prevent the entry of moisture and debris. 

State maintenance forces will be performing a crack seal from reference post 41.00 to reference post 55.00, south of Lexington.

The work is anticipated to take 21 days.

Traffic will be maintained with a pilot car and flaggers.

Motorists are reminded to drive cautiously in and near work zones, to buckle up, and put phones down.
