Lane Closure Wednesday at I-24/Parkway Interchange

A contractor plans a temporary daytime lane restriction for eastbound traffic along Interstate 24 at the Exit 25 Purchase Parkway Interchange on Wednesday.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says that beginning around 9:00 am Wednesday, eastbound traffic on I-24 will be restricted to one lane to allow paving of median crossovers to prepare for a coming traffic shift in this work zone.

All eastbound traffic in this work zone will move to the right-hand or driving lane starting at the I-24 Exit 25 Interchange.  This eastbound lane restriction is expected to be in place until about 3:00 pm.

This eastbound lane restriction is part of a larger work zone along I-24 at Calvert City in Marshall County between the 25 and 27 mile marker to allow the I-24/Purchase Parkway Interchange to be upgraded so I-69 can be extended southward along the parkway.  This work zone includes a 55 mile per hour speed limit with an enhanced enforcement presence and double fines for citations.
