(KBSI) The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is planning temporary daytime closures on KY 280/Speaker Trail at mile point 11.021 in Calloway County next week.
This is between KY 121 and KY 1536/Douglas Road.
Crews will complete the final rock and concrete work under the Panther Creek Bridge.
To safely accommodate this work, closures are scheduled on:
Monday, Dec. 1 from 8 a.m. to noon
Tuesday, Dec. 2 from 8 a.m. to noon
Thursday, Dec. 4 from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m.
Motorists are asked to self-detour.
All work is weather-dependent and may be completed earlier than anticipated each day.
This section of KY 280 carries approximately 294 vehicles per day.
The Illinois Department of Transportation (IDOT) has announced that lane restrictions on the Interstate 24 Ohio River Bridge between Paducah and Metropolis will remain in place until around mid-December.
Additional repairs were necessary to complete Phase 1 of the bridge rehab project, including the fabrication and construction of multiple beams for the bridge’s substructure.
Crews will be working Saturdays and Sundays, including this upcoming weekend, to complete the current work. Once finished, all four lanes on the I-24 Ohio River Bridge will be reopened to traffic until Phase 2 begins in early March 2026.
Please slow down and use caution in the work zone. Expect heavier traffic volumes along I-24 starting Wednesday, Nov. 26, and continuing throughout the week due to holiday travel.
