The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans a work zone lane restriction on the U.S. 68 Lake Barkley Bridge at Canton starting Tuesday of next week.
It is to allow a detailed inspection of the bridge structure and officials say one lane will remain open in each direction during the inspection process.
There will be an eight feet load width restriction for westbound traffic and the trail walkway on the south side of the bridge will be closed to allow inspectors to climb the bridge structure.
Weather permitting, the inspection team anticipates being on the bridge from approximately 8 a.m. until 4 p.m. each day from Tuesday through Friday of next week.
All traffic in this work zone will move to the left-hand lane. Due to equipment placement on the bridge deck required to facilitate the inspection, the lane restriction will remain up overnight until the inspection is completed.
Motorists should be alert for slowing and merging traffic as use appropriate caution. Some delays are possible during the movement and placement of equipment.
