Traffic ADVISORY A busy construction season along the 93 miles of Interstate 24 through Kentucky is starting to wind down as work is completed along two of 3 major rehabilitation projects this summer. A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to remove the Interstate 24 work zone from the 10 to 16 mile marker in McCracken County on Thursday, September 26, 2013. The work zone lane restrictions should be removed by about 4:00 p.m., CDT, on Thursday, weather permitting. Motorists should be aware that some limited lane restrictions could be established along this section of I-24 for finish work over the next few weeks, if required. Jim Smith Contracting of Grand Rivers was the prime contractor on this $14.83 million rehabilitation project that ran from the 3 to 16 mile marker on I-24. The project was divided into two sections to minimize traffic disruptions. The project included erosion repairs, drainage improvements, guardrail upgrades, and new pavement along the 13 mile section. Some of the driving surface replaced this summer had been in place since 1999. The project is being substantially completed more than a month ahead of schedule. Jim Smith Contracting was also the prime contractor on $11.5 million in rehabilitation work along I-24/I-69 from the 31 to 45 mile marker in Livingston and Lyon Counties. Some guardrail and other finish work continues with limited lane restrictions along this section from time to time. Work zone lane restrictions for $13.97 million in rehabilitation work along I-24 from the 86 to 93 mile marker in Christian County between US 41-Alternate and the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line remains active. Rogers Group is the prime contractor on that section. It is expected to be complete in mid-October. Motorists are reminded to use appropriate caution in this work zone where equipment, flaggers, and construction personnel are working along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow.
