Lane Closures in Effect Along I-69 in Madisonville this Week

Reduced speed in place throughout the project area

MADISONVILLE, Ky. (June 2, 2025) A new traffic closure went into effect along a portion of the I-69 Improvement project in Hopkins County today as work along the interstate in Madisonville continues.

The left lane of both the north and southbound section of the roadway will be blocked through the end of the week between Island Ford Road (116 mp) and the 113.8 mile point, just south of Center Street (KY 70). Crews will be working along the median through this section to replace guardrail and update crash cushions. 

These closures are expected to be lifted by the end of the week.

The work is part of the ongoing $10 million interstate improvement project along a 4.34-mile section of I-69 in Madisonville.  

The entire work zone stretches from the 113.8 mile point to the KY 2657/Fowler Road overpass (118.15 mp). A 55 mph speed limit with enhanced fines remains is in effect for the entire length of the project.
