A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the US 68/KY 80 Lake Barkley Bridge at Canton in TRIGG County TODAY. A sub-contractor will be performing concrete deck patching on the existing bridge. To facilitate that work, traffic will be restricted to one lane from approximately 9:30 a.m., CDT, to about 4:00 p.m., today. Motorists should be alert for one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers. Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and maintenance personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow. The US 68/KY 80 Lake Barkley Bridge is at about the 9 mile marker in Trigg County and serves as the eastern entrance to Land Between the Lakes National Recreation area. A new bridge under construction at this site is expected to be ready for traffic in 2017.
