A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict eastbound traffic to one lane along Interstate 24 at the 30 mile marker starting Tuesday, Sept. 19.
Eastbound traffic on I-24 will be restricted to one lane on the Tennessee River Bridge near the 30 mile marker to allow a continuation of joint repairs on the bridge deck.
Initially, all traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane in this eastbound work zone. After about three weeks the contractor plans a traffic shift to facilitate additional work at the site. This eastbound lane restriction is expected to be in place for about four to eight weeks.
Motorists should use appropriate caution where equipment, flaggers and construction personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
The Interstate 24 Tennessee River Bridge is actually made up of twin tied arch suspension structures at mile point 29.352 at the Marshall-Livingston County Line.
