From the News Edge: Transportation officials are reporting a traffic backup along the westbound lanes of I-24 in the work zone from near the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line to the Fort Campbell Boulevard exit. The contractor is pouring concrete as part of ongoing pavement rehabilitation work around the 89-mile marker, near the Pembroke-Oak Grove exit. While concrete trucks are moving in and out of this work area delivering material, the traffic backup appears to be more related to heavy traffic along the westbound lanes today. Westbound I-24 traffic in this work zone is backed up about 3 to 4 miles at this time with traffic slowed to about 35 mph in the area. To help reduce traffic congestion in this area, regular commuters who normally travel this section of I-24 westbound are being asked to seek an alternate route, if possible...............................................................................................................................A Night With The Blues is Saturday night at the Alhambra Theatre.

Delta Mariner Moves
After more than a week in the same location, the Delta Mariner moved away from the site of the collapsed Eggner's Ferry Bridge Monday. The cargo ship was moved a short distance away from the accident site, and the area was re-opened to recreational boat traffic. Take a look at the pictures from the day, courtesy of Randy Wade, Trigg County Emergency Management Director and Keith Todd with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
