I-24 Lane Restrictions To Remain In Place Through Thanksgiving

I-24 Tennessee River Bridge

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is advising motorists current restrictions on the I-24 Tennessee River Bridge at mile marker 30 will remain in place through the Thanksgiving day holiday.

District One and Two Public Information Officer Keith Todd says they aim to lift work zone restrictions during holiday travel periods, but due to some unexpected construction delays during installations of new joints on the bridge they must leave one lane of the roadway closed in each direction.

Both lanes of I-24 are restricted to a 12-foot maximum load width restriction. This lane restriction between exits 27 and 31 will cause some significant traffic delays during peak driving periods through next week.
