The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict southbound traffic to one lane on the Julian Carroll-Purchase Parkway at the KY 348 Exit 43 Benton Interchange this morning.
All southbound traffic will move to the right-hand or driving lane under the KY 348 Overpass. This work zone is to allow engineers to check on electrical connections for the old toll booths that were removed during the interchange upgrades to allow I-69 to eventually be extended southward along the parkway.
Southbound motorists should be alert for slowing and merging traffic as they approach this work zone near the 43 mile marker. This southbound work zone is expected to be in place for 2 to 3 hours.
