Officials with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet say a contractor plans to temporarily extend the eastbound work zone to about the 69-mile marker using construction barrels Friday morning.
District 1 spokesman Keith Todd says the extension to the 69-mile marker on I-24 is to allow grinding for placement of specialized 6-inch traffic striping along this section between the U.S. 68 Cadiz Exit 65 Interchange and the Trigg-Christian County line. He says the specialized striping has greater reflectivity in the rain and lasts about ten years longer than traditional painted traffic stripes.
Todd indicates a temporary extension of the westbound work zone will be scheduled to start next week.
