Starting on Thursday, there will be a lane restriction along the Interstate 24 Downtown Business Loop/U.S. 60 in downtown Paducah. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has announced this news in a recent press release. According to the statement, the work is expected to be completed within about a week, provided that weather conditions allow it.
The contractor will be painting traffic signal poles, bases, and support arms at the I-24 Business Loop and U.S. 60 intersections on Broadway with Third Street and Fourth Street in Paducah. As a result of this work, traffic will be reduced to one lane as drivers approach Broadway on the northbound one-way section of Third Street and southbound section of Fourth Street. Some delays are expected during the movement and placement of equipment.
Drivers are advised to proceed with caution around equipment, flaggers, and personnel on site while navigating through the lane restrictions. It is important for motorists to pay attention to any signs or signals posted on site and follow them accordingly to ensure their safety and the safety of others on the road.
