UPDATE: SEMI Crash Blocking I-69 Southbound Exit 69 ramp to I-24 Eastbound in Lyon County

Estimated duration is 4 hours or approximately 12:30 a.m., CST

PADUCAH, Ky. (Jan. 26, 2023)  A SEMI rollover crash is blocking the Interstate 69 Southbound Exit 69 ramp to Interstate 24 Eastbound just south of Eddyville in Lyon County.

To recover the truck, the I-24 Eastbound to I-69 Northbound ramp will also have to be closed.

The estimated duration is 4 hours or approximately 12:30 a.m., CST.

KYTC personnel are assisting police by putting up message boards to help traffic detour.

Motorists on I-69 Southbound who wish to reach I-24 Eastbound will have to take the ramp to I-24 Westbound to the Eddyville-Kuttawa U.S. 62 Exit 40 Interchange, then loop under the overpass to reverse direction to take I-24 Eastbound toward Cadiz and Nashville.

Motorists on I-24 Eastbound who wish to reach I-69 Northbound will have to take the Eddyville-Kuttawa U.S. 62 Interchange to follow U.S. 62 East through Eddyville to reach I 69 at Exit 72.

The other two ramps connecting I-24 and I-69 at the interchange are open and expected to remain open.
