Bowling Green Prepares for Corvette Caravan
BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Attention, residents and drivers in Warren County! There’s an exciting event on the horizon that is expected to influence local traffic. The Corvette Caravan & Anniversary Celebration is set to start at the National Corvette Museum on Wednesday. This much-anticipated gathering is part of a larger celebration dedicated to the classic American sports car.
Traffic Impact
According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KTC), those planning to travel in the area should be prepared for some congestion. The heaviest traffic is predicted to occur between 9 AM and 5 PM on Wednesday in the northern parts of Warren County. Key roads that may experience delays include Louisville Road, Porter Pike, Corvette Drive, and exit 28 of I-65.
Wes Watt, a Public Information Officer for KTC District 3, emphasized the importance of planning ahead. “There’s been lots of planning and advanced placement of things, so everything is well organized,” he stated. However, he cautioned that large events like this typically bring extra congestion. “Any time we have this type of large event coming all at once, it’s going to create some extra congestion. We just want people to be aware of that,” he mentioned.
Advice for Commuters
Drivers are encouraged to avoid the aforementioned areas if possible during the peak times. It’s always best to have alternate routes in mind when heading out on a busy day, especially with an influx of visitors to the area.
Coordination with Schools
Additionally, KTC officials have been in constant communication with staff from the Corvette Museum to ensure that local schools are not disrupted during the event. Watt confirmed that school pick-up and drop-off times will remain unaffected, noting, “Buses are able to take their normal routes.” It’s reassuring for parents to know that the important day-to-day activities will continue smoothly, even amidst the excitement.
