Eastbound traffic on Interstate 24 will be restricted to one lane at the Lyon County Weigh Station beginning Tuesday evening.
District 1 spokesman Keith Todd with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the eastbound lane restriction near the 35-mile marker is to allow a contractor to work on electronic vehicle monitoring equipment mounted on a mast arm that extends over the roadway at the eastbound entry ramp to the scales.
Todd says motorists traveling east on I-24 on Tuesday should be prepared for slowing and emerging traffic as they approach the 35-mile marker and. All eastbound motorists will need to move to the left-hand or passing lane in this work zone.
The eastbound lane restriction is expected to be in place from around 8:00 Tuesday night to about 6:00 Wednesday morning.
According to Todd, approximately 26,600 vehicles travel this section of I-24 between Exit 31 and Exit 40 in an average day.
