A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans one more night of work along the ramp that connects the Purchase Parkway northbound lanes to Interstate 24 eastbound in Marshall County starting at 7:00 pm Thursday.

The contractor will close the ramp for some finish work on the high-friction, anti-skid coating that was applied to curved portions of the ramp last week. The ramp will be closed for about 4 to 6 hours starting at 7:00 pm Thursday. There will be no marked detour, but drivers may self-detour via US 62 eastbound to I-24 Exit 27 at Calvert City.

While the high-friction, anti-skid coating is designed to improve traction along the ramp, motorists are asked to do their part by slowing down and being aware of their speed.

The ramp is at Purchase Parkway Exit 52 and I-24 Exit 25 near Calvert City.
