 At road construction jobs like the one behind me on US 23 in Pike County, contractors are used to people occasionally knocking over a barrel or even stealing a sign from time to time. But Monday morning's vandalism near the Penny Road intersection was much more severe. They had stolen, we believe, 10 traffic control signs that tells traffic where to go as they approach the job from both sides. In addition to knocking every barrel that we had on the roadway out of place, so essentially the traffic didn't know which way to go and had nothing to channelize them to get through the work zone. Officials at Mountain Enterprises who is doing this work on US 23 say they are taking Monday morning's vandalism very seriously. We believe it was deliberately vandalized because if you're traveling through a roadway you're traveling one direction so if you hit a few barrels in one direction that's probably mischief. But the fact that it was both sides, the entire job, and signs on both sides of the job. It's approximately 2.2 miles in one direction so if you reach out of the road that's about four and a half miles. What we suspect it was a pickup truck somewhere in the neighborhood of 3 a.m. between 2.30 and 3.30 a.m. and it should have spent some time on this section of roadway in both south by northbound directions. Officials at Mountain Enterprises say they are concerned with the monetary damage in this case which is up in the thousands but they say the real reason they contacted the Kentucky State Police in this particular case is because of what could have happened. It's not just inconvenience for us, it also could have had very serious consequences. If you have any information please contact the State Police with just a partial vehicle description or license plate any county information should help.
