Clarksville, TN – Drivers traveling between Tennessee and Kentucky should expect significant delays over the next three days as westbound I-24 is reduced to one lane for emergency repairs.
According to the Kentucky Transportation Office, crews began restricting the westbound side of the interstate today from the Tennessee state line to milepoint 89. The agency said emergency concrete repair work is underway, and a full crew has been mobilized to finish the project “as quickly as possible.”
The lane reduction affects a high-traffic stretch used heavily by Montgomery County commuters, Fort Campbell personnel, and commercial haulers moving between Nashville and western Kentucky. With only one lane open, drivers should prepare for slowdowns during peak morning and evening travel times.
Officials did not specify a completion hour but confirmed the work is expected to last three days, pending weather and material conditions. Motorists are encouraged to allow extra time, monitor real-time traffic apps, and consider alternate routes when possible.
The Kentucky Transportation Office noted that heavy equipment and repair crews will remain active along the shoulder and within the closed lane throughout the project window. Drivers are urged to obey posted work-zone speeds and remain alert for sudden stops.
Local authorities in Montgomery County shared the advisory to help commuters prepare for the disruptions. Additional updates are expected as progress continues.
