Overnight Closure of I-24 Westbound Lanes at 29mm near Tennessee River Bridge starting at 10 p.m.
Closure to allow pothole repairs along shoulder
PADUCAH, Ky. (April 16, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans an overnight closure of the westbound lanes of Interstate 24 near the 29 mile marker at the Tennessee River Bridge starting promptly at 10 p.m., tonight.
I-24 westbound will be closed at the 29 mile marker to allow repairs to potholes along the shoulder area in the Tennessee River Bridge work zone at the Marshall-Livingston County Line.
Due to the traffic shift to facilitate rehabilitation and painting work on the I-24 Tennessee River Bridge, westbound trucks have been running on the shoulder area as they exit the work zone. This has created several potholes along the edge of the westbound driving lane where traffic transitions back to the roadway.
Starting promptly at 10 p.m., tonight, westbound traffic will be temporarily detoured off I-24 at the KY 453 Grand Rivers Exit 31 interchange to take KY 453 South to U.S. 62 West to return to I-24 westbound via the U.S. 62 Calvert City Exit 27 Interchange.
While the westbound detour is in place, KYTC personnel will make temporary repairs to the potholes.
Westbound motorists on I-24 should be alert for slowing and stopped traffic as they approach the I-24 Grand Rivers Exit 31 interchange. Appropriate caution is required along the detour due to increased traffic flow.
This work is scheduled on a weather permitting basis. The work is expected to take about four hours to complete.
There should be no impact to eastbound I-24 traffic. Motorists who regularly travel KY 453 and U.S. 62 along the temporary detour route should be aware of increased traffic flow during the overnight hours.
Once these temporary repairs are completed, KYTC engineers will be working on a more permanent repair effort to be scheduled in the next few days.
