HOPKINSVILLE, KY – Motorists who travel Seventh Street (U.S. 68) in Hopkinsville will notice crews setting up for an upcoming lane closure on Friday, which will cause some delays beginning Monday, Sept. 13.
Crews will block the westbound lane of U.S. 68 daily from 7 a.m. to 4:30 p.m as they begin widening the roadway at this location.

There will be an 8-foot load width restriction through this work zone.
