Periodic Closures on Kentucky Ave. Next Week

There will be some changes in the work zone along Kentucky Avenue in Paducah.



The contractor plans some daytime closures in the area starting Wednesday, May 27. The one lane used for outbound traffic between Walter Jetton Boulevard and South 24th Street will be closed for several hours at a time on Wednesday, Thursday, and possibly Friday. The periodic closures are likely between 8:00 am and 3:30 pm, and will be in place as the weather allows. If rain stops progress, it will resume the next day until the work is done.



Access to this 1-mile stretch of Kentucky Avenue (U.S. Highway 45) will available using rear and side streets. Walter Jetton Boulevard, 16th Street and 21st Street are the only cross-streets that will be open.



Traffic going toward the river must use Broadway or another alternate route, and outbound drivers are encouraged to find another route, especially during this three-day period.



This is a high-activity area, so drivers in the area should use caution.
