The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the U.S. 60 Tennessee River Bridge at Ledbetter today for deck patching work.
Motorists can expect to encounter one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers from about 11 a.m. to about 4 p.m.
Motorists should watch for slowing and stopped traffic in the work zone. Travel delays should be minimal, generally be less than four minutes.
Motorists should be alert for equipment, flaggers, and maintenance personnel on the bridge deck in close proximity to traffic flow. Appropriate caution is required.
Also known as the George Rogers Clark Memorial Bridge and The Ledbetter Bridge, the U.S. 60 Tennessee River Bridge connects McCracken County to Livingston County between Paducah and Ledbetter. The bridge is at U.S. 60 Livingston County mile point 0.0 and McCracken County mile point 19.718. The bridge was opened to traffic in 1931 and now carries approximately 7,800 vehicles across the Tennessee River in an average day.
