Parkway northbound exit ramp to KY 800 to close Thursday

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close the northbound exit ramp from the Pennyrile Parkway to KY 800 at the Crofton Exit 23 interchange in northern Christian County on Thursday.

The closure will be to allow the contractor to haul concrete to their paving operation along the northbound lanes of the parkway, according to a news release.

The closure will last from approximately 6:00 a.m. to about 4:00 p.m.

There will be no marked detour, but message boards will alert northbound motorists on the Pennyrile who wish to connect to KY 800 at Exit 23 to take the northbound exit onto the Martin Luther King Bypass at Exit 11 and then follow US 41 North as a self-detour.

The work is weather permitting and will be postponed in the case of rain.
