ALERT: Traffic Backup in I-24 Work Zone at 29mm

Mobile home hauler creates delay

PADUCAH, Ky. (April 23, 2024)  A mobile home hauler has created a traffic back up along Interstate 24 westbound at the 29 mile marker in the Tennessee River Bridge work zone.

The mobile home took out traffic barrels along the work zone where KYTC crews and a contractor are repairing potholes near the work zone exit point.

The incident had created a traffic back up that may take some time to clear.  Westbound motorists on I-24 should consider a self-detour via the Grand Rivers Exit 31 interchange to KY 453 South to take U.S. 62 West to return to I-24 at the Calvert City Exit 27 interchange.

As a reminder, the I-24 Tennessee River Bridge work zone has an 8.5 ft. load width restriction.  I-24 westbound traffic is restricted to one lane into Friday morning with overnight westbound closures for pothole repairs 7 p.m. to 7 a.m., again tonight.
