Caravan to leave Eddyville Riverport at 7 a.m., Friday
PADUCAH, Ky. (Sept. 1, 2022) – A specialized hauler plans to move a 480-ton superload along Interstate 24 through parts of Lyon, Caldwell, and Trigg Counties on Friday morning, Sept. 2, 2022.
This superload plans to leave the Eddyville Riverport around 7 a.m., CDT, and travel KY 93 southbound to the KY 293 Princeton-Eddyville Exit 45 Interchange, then head east on I-24 to U.S. 68 Cadiz-Hopkinsville Exit 65.
Once the 16-ft. wide hauler enters I-24, the load will move at about 40 miles per hour with a police escort and support vehicles.
Motorists should be alert for this slow-moving traffic following this load and use appropriate caution. Patience will be required, particularly where the overweight/over-dimensional load slows to make turns. Motorists who encounter this superload should pay close attention to directions from police escorting the caravan.
Once the slow-moving caravan reaches the U.S. 68 Cadiz Exit 65 Interchange, the superload will head east on U.S. 68 to Hopkinsville.
This is the second of six trips Edwards Rigging plans to make along this route. Additional trips are planned every few days over the next week or two.
