The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says another ‘superload’ will slow traffic this morning as it makes its way from Eddyville to Martinrea in Hopkinsville.
The fourth of six 480-ton, 16-feet wide loads was scheduled to 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.
