HOPKINSVILLE, KY – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to block two ramps on westbound Interstate 24 beginning on Monday, Oct. 26 at 6 a.m.

At Exit 86, crews will block the exit ramp from I-24 westbound to U.S. 41A and the entrance ramp from U.S. 41A to westbound I-24 as the project to reconstruct I-24 from the 85.5-mile point to the Tennessee State Line (92 mm) continues.

These ramps will be closed for approximately 2-3 weeks while they are reconstructed to tie in with the new I-24 westbound roadway surface.

Motorists can detour using I-169 at Exit 81. The I-24 reconstruction project, which began in March, is scheduled to be concluded by mid-November, with all four lanes of the interstate reopening to traffic.
