Speed limit reduced on US 62 at I-24 Exit 40 ramps

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has reduced the speed limit along a section of US 62 near Interstate 24 Exit 40 in Lyon County. New signage reducing the speed limit from 55 to 45 miles per hour is expected to be installed by this weekend.

This section passes beneath I-24 at Exit 40, between Kuttawa and Eddyville.

The speed limit reduction is intended to improve safety in an area with high traffic volume, particularly near the ramps.
