A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to add a 13 foot maximum load width restriction for southbound traffic at the Julian Carroll-Purchase Parkway/US 45 Exit 21 interchange at Mayfield in Graves County starting Thursday.

The work zone, extending from about the Purchase Parkway 17 mile marker to about the 23 mile marker will now include a 13 ft. maximum load width restriction for southbound traffic along the Exit 21 ramp that carries through-traffic from Mayfield on southward along the Purchase Parkway toward Fulton and the Kentucky-Tennessee State Line.

The 13 ft. maximum load width restriction is due to the addition of barrier walls to allow work to widen this ramp in coming months, and the zone includes a 55 mile per hour speed limit with an enhanced enforcement presence. The ramp has a 45 mile per hour speed limit.
