Starting at 10 pm, the eastbound lanes of I-24 will be closed between Exit 25 and Exit 27. During the closure, eastbound traffic will be detoured via the Purchase Parkway northbound to US 62 eastbound to reconnect to the eastbound lanes of I-24 at Exit 27.
The contractor will use the overnight detour to complete final connections and traffic control for a long-term traffic diversion along the I-24 eastbound lanes through the work zone.
Motorists who normally travel the Purchase Parkway and US 62 in the immediate Calvert City area should be prepared to encounter heavier than normal traffic volume while the temporary detour is in place Thursday night into Friday morning.
Eastbound I-24 traffic will be shifted to the diversion at a point immediately east of the I-24/Purchase Parkway Exit 25 interchange starting around 5 am on Friday. This diversion runs along the former westbound lanes to just west of the US 62 Exit 27 Interchange at Calvert City where eastbound traffic moves back to the main line of I-24.
