This
lane restriction for westbound traffic only is to allow KyTC personnel,
area news media and the public to observe round one of controlled
explosive demolition on the
old Ledbetter Bridge scheduled for 8 a.m. Tuesday, weather
permitting.
All
westbound traffic along U.S. 60 on the bridge approaches and bridge deck
will be moved to the left-hand or passing lane in this work zone. There
will be no stopping allowed
on the bridge in this work zone.
Motorists
who regularly travel across the new U.S. 60 Tennessee River Bridge at
Ledbetter between 6 and about 10 a.m. should consider
allowing extra travel time
for the Tuesday morning commute, as traffic congestion is likely in the
area due to preparations for the first of several controlled explosive
detonations on the old Ledbetter Bridge..
Motorists
should use extra caution due to personnel on the bridge in close
proximity to traffic flow. There will be an enhanced enforcement
presence in this work zone.
