Improvements for I-24 in Christian County are nearly complete.
According to a news release from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, repairs began in early spring of 2022, with lane restrictions and were focused on the eastbound lanes between Exit 86 and the Kentucky-Tennessee line and now that work is set to be complete by Friday afternoon.
While the resurfacing work will wrap up Friday, the contractor is planning intermittent closures of the exit 89 ramps for tie-in work on Monday. One lane of eastbound traffic will be shifted to the eastbound side that same day and removal of barrier walls will begin.
Finishing work for the median, cable barrier and westbound guardrail will be addressed next week as well and the contractor anticipates having eastbound lanes open and westbound back to two lanes in time for the Thanksgiving holiday.
