Traffic on I-24 bridge restricted

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict westbound traffic to one lane on the Interstate 24 Tennessee River Bridge on Friday.

This lane restriction at the Marshall-Livingston County line is to allow a detailed inspection of the bridge substructure. The westbound lane restriction is expected to be in place from approximately 8:30 a.m., to approximately noon Friday.

All traffic in this work zone will move to the left-hand, or passing lane, on the bridge deck. Westbound motorists should be alert for slowing and merging traffic as they approach the Grand Rivers exit.  Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers and inspection personnel are on the bridge deck in close proximity to traffic flow.

This work zone will include a 55 mph speed limit.
