The Interstate 24 Welcome Center in Christian County will remain closed until further notice.
The facility was scheduled to reopen today and
remain open through the Memorial Day driving period, however, recent
storms in the area have hampered necessary paving work on the Welcome
Center approaches.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KyTC) has not
determined when the Welcome Center will be able to reopen to serve
westbound motorists on I-24. The facility near I-24 mile-marker 93 at
the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line is jointly operated
by KyTC and the Kentucky Department of
Tourism.
It is reported in this week's issue of The Crittenden Press that the facility will be open, but that was published prior to today's notice of closure.
