Traffic to be restricted on U.S. 62 bridge

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the U.S. 62 Tennessee River Bridge between Gilbertsville and Lake City on Tuesday.

This lane restriction at U.S. 62 Marshall County mile-point 11.9 and Livingston County mile point 0.0 is to allow use of a snooper truck to conduct a detailed inspection of the Tennessee River Bridge below Kentucky Dam.

Motorists can expect to encounter one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers from about 8:30 a.m. to about 3:30 p.m. on Tuesday. The work should be completed in one day, weather permitting. However, some lane restrictions could also be required on Wednesday.
