A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans a daytime lane and load width restriction on the US 68/KY 80 Lake Barkley Bridge at Canton in Trigg County starting Monday.

KYTC says the daytime lane and an 8 ft. load width restriction is to allow deck repairs to the bridge.  The contractor expects to have a lane restriction in place from around 8 am to 5 pm daily through Friday.

Drivers should be prepared to encounter one lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers.  Some minor delays are possible during the movement and positioning of equipment.  The 8 ft. load width restriction will mean no vehicles larger than a pickup truck will be able to cross the bridge while this work zone is in place.

As a reminder, the US 68/KY 80 Lake Barkley Bridge at Canton is within the work zone for construction of the new bridge. This work zone has a 45 mph speed limit.
