Sinkhole along I-24 closes one lane in Lyon County

Interstate 24 has been restricted to one eastbound lane at the 41 mile marker in Lyon County where a sinkhole has developed just off the shoulder of the roadway.

The lane restriction is along I-24 just east of the US 62 Eddyville-Kuttawa Exit 40 interchange.

KYTC shifted traffic after finding the sinkhole on Saturday.

The restriction is likely to remain in place until Monday or Tuesday to allow engineers time to develop a repair plan and deliver equipment to the site.
