Superload to Move along I-24 Eastbound in Lyon, Caldwell, and Trigg Counties on Wednesday Morning
Caravan to leave Eddyville Riverport at 7 a.m., Wednesday
PADUCAH, Ky. (August 23, 2022) – A specialized hauler plans to move a superload along Interstate 24 through parts of Lyon, Caldwell, and Trigg Counties on Wednesday morning, August 24, 2022.
This superload plans to leave the Eddyville Riverport around 7 a.m., CDT, 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.
Motorists should be alert for this slow-moving load and use appropriate caution. Patience will be required, particularly where the overweight/over-dimensional load is making turns. Motorists who encounter this superload should pay close attention to directions from police escorting the caravan.
Once the slow-moving caravan reaches the U.S. 68 Cadiz Exit 65 Interchange, the 960,000 pound superload will head east on U.S. 68 toward Hopkinsville.
