KYTC to close portion of I-24 in Trigg County today

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is establishing work zone lane restrictions along Interstate 24 at the 56-mile marker in Trigg County starting Tuesday.

According to a news release, motorists should be alert for work zone lane restrictions for both eastbound and westbound traffic as they approach the 56-mile marker immediately east of the KY 139 Cadiz-Princeton Exit 56 interchange.

All traffic will move to the right-hand or driving lane to allow a crew to mill out a paved construction crossover from a concrete pavement rehabilitation project. This work zone is expected to remain in place for about two weeks.

Material milled from the crossover will be used for construction of a new salt dome and equipment staging area just off KY 1523 at the I-24/I-69 Exit 24 Interchange at Calvert City.

Once asphalt and gravel have been milled at these locations, a crew is expected to be back at these locations in several weeks to return the median to normal contours.
