A contractor for The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning night traffic restrictions along Interstate 24 at the Exit 25 Purchase Parkway Interchange beginning Tuesday.

These night lane restrictions are to prepare for the next phase of an ongoing reconstruction of the interchange to allow Interstate 69 to be extended southward along the parkway.

Starting Tuesday night, KYTC says the contractor will restrict traffic from Exit 25 to Exit 27 on I-24 to one lane in each direction from 8 pm to 6 am each day, through Oct. 2. Both eastbound and westbound traffic will be moved to the right-hand or passing lane in this work zone to allow the contractor to construct median crossovers required to transistion traffic to a diversion in the next few weeks.  

Please note that prep work for the night lane restrictions will require workers to be present along the work zone starting a couple of hours before the restrictions are put up each night.  Caution is required.

These night lane restrictions along I-24 will be taken down by 6 am the following day.

This work zone includes a 55 mile per hour speed limit with an enhanced enforcement presence and double fines for citations.
