Southbound work zone in place tor about three days
PADUCAH, Ky. (October 11, 2023) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans a southbound work zone lane restriction along U.S. 45/Lone Oak Road in the Lone Oak area of McCracken County starting Wednesday, October 11, 2023.
Southbound motorists on U.S. 45/Lone Oak Road should be prepared to encounter a work zone lane restriction near the Lakeview Drive intersection at mile point 7.13 starting promptly at 8 a.m., Wednesday. This southbound work zone restriction is to allow additional curb work at the intersection.
All southbound traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane in this work zone. Some delays are possible – particularly during peak travel periods. Motorists should consider taking an alternate route during commuter hours.
This work zone is expected to remain in place around the clock through about 5 p.m., on Friday, Oct. 13.
This work at the Lakeview Drive intersection with U.S. 45/Lone Oak Road is part of ongoing reconstruction of KY 1286/North Friendship Road between U.S. 45 and U.S. 62.
++++++++++
As a reminder, KY 1286/North Friendship Road is closed to through traffic to allow full reconstruction of the roadway between U.S. 45 and U.S. 62. Local access will be maintained for business owners and property owners via each end of the project. Due to excavations along the project between Seneca Lane and Old Friendship Road, no traffic will be able to pass through this construction corridor.
This closure of KY 1286/North Friendship Road and side roads along the construction corridor are expected to remain in place until late fall.
Motorists seeking to make a connection between U.S. 45 and U.S. 62 in the Lone Oak area should use the Connector Roads/Jack Paxton Boulevard at the I-24/U.S. 45/U.S. 62 Paducah Exit 7 Interchange.

This Phase I of the KY 1286/North Friendship Road reconstruction project includes the section between U.S. 45/Lone Oak Road and U.S. 62/Blandville Road in the Lone Oak area of McCracken County.
