Orange Barrel Report September 29

(KBSI) A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) is planning nighttime lane restrictions along Interstate 24 in Marshall County, starting Monday, Oct. 6.

The work zone spans from the Exit 27/U.S. 62 (Kentucky Dam) interchange to the I-24 Tennessee River Bridge, or mile points 26.50 to 29.352.

The first phase of the project involves paving work, during which traffic will be reduced to one lane in each direction during nighttime hours, from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.

This phase is expected to last approximately one week.

Following paving, temporary barrier walls will be installed near the Exit 27 overpass and the I-24 eastbound on-ramp at U.S. 62, near Love’s Travel Stop.

Once the barriers are in place, traffic will shift to a new pattern, but all lanes on I-24 will remain open.

This phase of work is expected to continue through mid-December, weather permitting.
