The state transportation cabinet has announced a nighttime work zone lane restriction along I-24 eastbound near the 62-mile marker in Trigg County.
Work was delayed one day due to the recent rainfall. Traffic will be restricted to one lane from 9 PM until 6 AM nightly, as a crew works to repair damage to steel beams along the Cerulean Road overpass.
Crews will be working in the right-hand lane. Drivers should be alert for signs and message boards directing all traffic to shift to the left-hand, passing lane in the work zone.
There will also be a lane restriction on the Cerulean Road near this overpass. A temporary traffic signal will control alternating traffic flow on the overpass when the work begins on Monday.
Weather permitting, the project is expected to be completed around April 18.
In June of last year, bridge inspectors found evidence the steel beams that support the overpass had been struck by a passing truck and some non-structural pieces of concrete edging had fallen into and along I-24.
