U.S. Highway 68/80 Construction Update URGENT INFO

A contractor for the KY Transportation Cabinet plans to put up lane and width restrictions on US 68/KY 80 Eggner's Ferry Bridge (over Kentucky Lake) beginning Monday, July 26, 2010. This is the western entrance into Land Between The Lakes (LBL) National Recreation Area. This work zone includes a maximum 7.5 foot vehicle width - which will limit traffic to passenger vehicles and pick-up trucks only. Traffic across the bridge will be controlled by an automated traffic signal. The 24 hour lane restriction is to allow for full depth deck repairs and installation of a deck overlay on the bridge. There will be a marked detour via Interstate 24 (through Aurora on US 68 & Purchase Parkway) for trucks, RV’s, vehicles pulling trailers, and other larger vehicles over 7.5 ft. wide.

Contruction continues on US68/KY80 in several areas. Motorists who regularly travel US 68/KY 80 through the LBL in Trigg County should be alert for changes in traffic flow that the traffic shift will create. Motorists should pay close attention to signs in the work zone and be alert for traffic barricades and message boards providing instructions. Please watch for construction signage, reduced speed limit, construction workers, and equipment close to the passing traffic. Be alert for specific traffic updates as the project moves forward in coming months. For more information go to www.us68lbl.com or www.511.ky.gov.
