KYTC to begin road repair efforts on I-24 in Lyon County Friday

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will begin a work-zone lane restriction operation on I-24 in Lyon County starting Friday.

According to a news release, the work zone will be between the bridge of the Cumberland River on the Livingston-Lyon County line, and extend toward Exit 45 at KY 293.  Crews will be working in three-mile sections, removing center- and edge-line reflective striping and then sealing cracks in the asphalt pavement.

This nighttime lane restriction will be in place from 6 p.m. until 6 a.m., alternating between the eastbound and westbound lanes, with a reduced speed limit of 55-miles per hour.
