Barrier Installation on I-24 This Week at Cadiz

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to start installation of a centerline barrier wall to prepare for major concrete work along the westbound lanes of Interstate 24 in Trigg County on Wednesday.

The work zone will initially run from near the U.S. 68 Cadiz-Hopkinsville Exit 65 Interchange , then eventually westward to about the 52-mile marker through parts of Trigg, Caldwell, and Lyon counties.
 
This first phase of work will require the placement of a centerline barrier wall. Weather permitting, the contractor plans to start on Wednesday along the westbound lanes near the 65-mile marker. A crew will work westward over the next 2 to 3 weeks.
 
Erection of the barrier wall will require westbound traffic to be restricted to one lane starting near the Exit 65 interchange. 
 
Westbound construction is expected to ramp up in late March or early April. 
 
Later in the summer, traffic will be removed from the eastbound lanes to allow replacement of concrete pavement along that side of the interstate.
 
The zone will include a maximum 15 ft. load width restriction for westbound traffic starting Wednesday.
