Nighttime lane restriction planned on I-24 in McCracken County

PADUCAH, Ky., (KBSI) – A nighttime lane restriction is planned on Interstate 24 in McCracken County starting Sunday, April 13, as a contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet works to seal cracks in the asphalt pavement.

The restriction will be in place from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., alternating between eastbound and westbound lanes, on three-mile sections from Exit 16 to the I-24 Ohio River Bridge.

Motorists should be alert for signage and trucks with arrow boards guiding traffic to shift into the open lane. The work zone will have a reduced speed limit of 55 mph.

The $9.2 million project involves sealing and micro-paving along Interstate 24 and Interstate 69 in McCracken, Marshall, Graves, Hickman and Fulton counties.

Strawser Construction is the primary contractor. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s District 1 office will provide updates as work progresses.
