Southbound lanes I-69 at 51 mile marker restricted after semi crash

CALVERT CITY, Ky. (KBSI) – Traffic on Interstate 69 southbound is restricted to one lane at the 51 mile marker due to a semi crash in northern Marshall County Monday evening.

This is along I-69 in the Interstate 24 Exit 25 Interchange near Calvert City, according to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.

The truck ran off the road earlier Monday and landed between the I-24 eastbound ramp and the I-69 southbound lanes.

The semi is not blocking any lanes, but southbound traffic on I-69 is restricted to one lane. The load of rolled paper will have to be offloaded to allow the semi to be recovered.

The road is expected to be restricted until 9 p.m.

Westbound traffic on I-24 making the transition to I-69 southbound should be alert for slowing and merging traffic near the overpass tunnel, with all traffic moved to the left-hand or passing lane at the crash site. Eastbound traffic from I-24 taking the ramp to southbound I-69 should also use caution.
