Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the westbound lanes of Interstate-24 at the Tennessee state line will be closed Friday night/Saturday morning for a few hours. Officials say crews will be working to repair the damaged guardrail at the west fork of the Red River Bridge.
Westbound traffic is already limited to one lane due to existing construction and officials say there is not sufficient room to perform the repairs. The Transportation Cabinet will be closing the westbound lanes at midnight and the rest area t 11:00 pm. Motorists are being encouraged to take an alternate route, such as Tennessee Exit 1, where motorists can turn left onto SR 48 (Trenton Road), proceed south and turn right onto SR 236 (Tiny Town Road), proceed west and turn right onto US 41-A (Ft. Campbell Blvd) then proceed north back to I-24.
The closure is expected to last until 4:00 am.
