Closure on KY 1523/Industrial Pkwy in Calvert City for RR Crossing Work starting Monday, Oct 16

Closure to remain in place for about 4 days.

PADUCAH, Ky. (October 11, 2023)  A contractor for P&L Railroad plans to close a section of KY 1523/Industrial Parkway in the Calvert City area of Marshall County starting Monday, October 16, 2023.

KY 1523/Industrial Parkway will be closed at mile point 7.7 to allow upgrades to a double railroad crossing.  The crossing is along the east leg of KY 1523 about 1/2 mile north of the East 5th Avenue intersection.

The rail crossing at this location will close promptly at 8 a.m., CDT, on Monday.  Due to excavations and placement of equipment required to facilitate the work, KY 1523/Industrial Parkway is expected to remain closed until sometime on the afternoon of Thursday, Oct. 19.

There will be no marked detour.  Motorists may self-detour via KY 262/Gilbertsville Highway, KY 95/Main Street, and U.S. 62.  Trucks should seek an approved state route based on their gross weight.

P&L Railroad and KYTC District 1 will attempt to provide timely updates should the work be completed earlier than expected.
