Crash in Illinois along Westbound Lanes of I-24 at Paducah-Metropolis is Cleared at 4:50 a.m., CDT

 

PADUCAH, KY (July 7, 2021)-- Massac County 911 reports the crash in Illinois that prompted closure of the westbound lanes of Interstate 24 in Kentucky has been cleared.

McCracken County Emergency Management detoured Interstate 24 westbound traffic off at the KY 305 Paducah Exit 3 Interchange at the request of Massac County 911 for about an hour.

Massac County 911 now reports one lane is open in the work zone in Illinois.  Due to the work zone lane restriction it may take an hour or so for the traffic back-up to clear.

Thanks to everyone for your patience.
