Head's up Friends! Starting SUNDAY, 01 March, until mid-August!
West-bound I-24, from MM88 to the TN state line, will be CLOSED.
Both directions will utilize one lane, w/concrete barriers, on the east-bound side of I-24. Gonna need to pack a little extra patience!
Here's to road improvements. 🦫🤎💛❤️
Interstate Repair Project Starting Next Week in Christian County
I-24 will be reduced to one lane in each direction
MADISONVILLE, Ky. (February 25, 2026) – A contractor working for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to begin an Interstate repair project next week along a five-mile section of Interstate 24 in Christian County.
Beginning March 1, 2026, I-24 will be reduced to one lane in each direction between the 88 mm at Oak Grove and the Tennessee line. During this phase of construction, traffic from both eastbound and westbound lanes will be shifted to the eastbound side of the interstate, with temporary barrier walls separating opposing traffic.
Due to the lane configuration, the maximum allowable load width will be 14 feet. Over-dimensional vehicles exceeding this width restriction must use an alternate route.
Over-dimensional traffic is advised to detour via I-65 to I-165 to the Western Kentucky Parkway to I-69 to I-24, provided no restrictions are in place on those routes.
The project is scheduled to be completed by mid-August, weather permitting. Motorists should expect reduced speeds and possible delays, and are encouraged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and use caution through the work zone.
