Restrictions on 3-mile sections from Exit 16 to the I-24 Ohio River Bridge
PADUCAH, Ky. (Apr. 9, 2025) – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans a nighttime, work zone lane restriction on Interstate 24 starting at the 16.2-mile marker and working toward the I-24 Ohio River Bridge in McCracken County starting Sunday night, April 13.
Crews will be working in three-mile sections to seal cracks in the asphalt pavement.
Traffic on Interstate 24 will be restricted to one lane from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m., alternating between eastbound and westbound lanes.
Motorists should be alert for signage and trucks with arrow boards guiding traffic to shift into the open lane, as work alternates from one lane to the next.
The work zone will have a reduced speed limit of 55 mph.
Use caution where workers and equipment are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic.
Strawser Construction is the primary contractor on this $9.2 million project for sealing and micro-paving along Interstate 24 and Interstate 69 in McCracken, Marshall, Graves, Hickman and Fulton counties in KYTC District 1.
The estimated target for project competition is about September 30, 2025.
KYTC District 1 will provide updates as work progresses.
