After Saturday’s attempt was postponed, another ‘superload’ will slow traffic Sunday morning as it makes its way from Lyon County to Martinrea in Hopkinsville.
The third of five 480-ton, 16-feet wide loads will leave the Eddyville Riverport about 7 a.m. and travel KY 93 southbound to the KY 293 Princeton-Eddyville Exit 45 Interchange, then head east on I-24. Once it enters I-24, the load will move at about 40 miles per hour with a police escort and support vehicles.
It will take the US 68 exit in Cadiz and head east toward Hopkinsville before turning right onto the Eagle Way Bypass to make its way toward the industrial park.
Motorists should be alert for this slow-moving load and use appropriate caution. Patience will be required, particularly where the hauler is making turns. Motorists who encounter this superload should pay close attention to directions from police escorting the load.
