Kentucky Transportation Cabinet • District 1

Bridge work to take about three weeks to complete

PADUCAH, Ky. (August 12, 2022) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans a work zone lane restriction for westbound traffic on Interstate 24 near the 60-mile marker in Trigg County starting Tuesday, August 16, 2022.

This work zone lane restriction for westbound traffic on I-24 is to allow bearing work and concrete abutment repairs on the Muddy Fork Creek Bridge.

All westbound traffic will be moved to the right-hand or driving lane in this work zone.  There will be a maximum 12 ft. load width restriction.

This work zone will be taken down on weekends. The work is expected to take about three weeks to complete, weather permitting.

This work zone will have an interactive work zone warning system to alert approaching motorists of slowed or stopped traffic.  Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and bridge maintenance personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.

The target completion date is September 2, 2022.

There should be no impact to eastbound travel in this work zone.
