One-Week Lane Restriction on I-24 Downtown Business Loop in Paducah: Stay Alert and Be Patient!

In downtown Paducah, a lane restriction is set to begin on the Interstate 24 Downtown Business Loop/U.S. 60 starting from Thursday. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s contractor working on this project anticipates that it will take approximately one week to complete the work, provided that weather conditions allow for it.

During this time, drivers should be cautious of lane restrictions at the Broadway intersections with Third Street and Fourth Street in Paducah. The contractor’s focus will be on painting traffic signal poles, bases, and support arms. 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. Delays are expected during the movement and placement of equipment, so drivers are advised to exercise caution around equipment, flaggers, and workers.

Overall, the lane restriction and maintenance work are essential for improving infrastructure and ensuring motorists’ safety in the area. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, exercise patience, and follow any instructions provided by flaggers or personnel in the work zone.
