Part of KY 2619 Closing for Bridge Work May 14

A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to close KY 2619/White School Road in Caldwell County at the I-69/Western Kentucky Parkway overpass starting Monday, May 14.

This closure at mile point zero is to facilitate removal of the existing overpass and construction of a new bridge at the site. The road will be closed between Board Road and KY 2612. This work will include some lane restrictions and shifts for traffic on Interstate 69/The Western Kentucky Parkway as the work progresses. Motorists should be alert for this work zone at mile point 20 on I-69/The Western Kentucky Parkway. This is part of ongoing work along Interstate 69/The Western Kentucky Parkway between Eddyville and the Pennyrile Parkway Interchange required to meet Interstate highway standards.

As a reminder, traffic along I-69/Western Kentucky Parkway remains restricted to one lane at several locations between Interstate 24 and the Pennyrile Parkway Interchange for ongoing upgrades. Motorists should slow down and be alert for slowing and merging traffic as they approach these work zones.

Additionally, motorists are advised to be alert for sign crews working at various locations along this route.

These work zones are among several that will be required through the summer construction season as part of a $9.9 million project to bring this section of former Western Kentucky Parkway up to federal standards for interstate.
