Starting Thursday, a lane restriction will be implemented on the Interstate 24 Downtown Business Loop/U.S. 60 in downtown Paducah. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet contractor working on the project anticipates that it will take approximately one week to complete, as long as weather conditions allow.
During this time, drivers should be aware of lane restrictions at the Broadway intersections with Third Street and Fourth Street in Paducah. The contractor will focus on painting traffic signal poles, bases, and support arms, which will reduce traffic to one lane as drivers approach Broadway on the northbound one-way section of Third Street and southbound section of Fourth Street. Delays are expected during the movement and placement of equipment, so drivers are asked to exercise caution around equipment, flaggers, and workers.
The lane restriction and maintenance work are necessary for improving infrastructure and ensuring the safety of motorists in the area. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, be patient, and follow any instructions provided by flaggers or personnel in the work zone.
