MADISONVILLE, Ky. (July 28, 2025) – As work continues along I-69 in Madisonville, motorists should anticipate delays and ramp closures in the northbound lanes this week.
A contractor working for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will begin working on the northbound slow lane of the interstate on Monday night.
The right lane will be blocked from approximately the 113.81-mile point in front of the mall to the 118.15-mile point at the Kentucky 2657/Fowler Road overpass to allow the old road surface to be ground down and a new base layer of asphalt to be placed.
Crews will block Exit 114 northbound onramp from Kentucky 254 (Brown Road) at Kentucky 70 between the hours of 6 p.m. Monday and 6 a.m. Tuesday.
Work will continue on the northbound slow lane on Tuesday, with the on and off ramps at Exit 116 to Kentucky 281 (Island Ford Road) and Exit 117 to U.S. 41 all being blocked from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m.
When work to place the new base for this lane is completed, the contractor will begin paving a new driving surface throughout the entire project.
Paving will follow this schedule: southbound fast lane, northbound fast lane, southbound slow lane and northbound slow lane. Ramps will be resurfaced during the paving of the slow lane in each direction.
The project is scheduled to be completed by the end of August.
The work is part of the ongoing $10 million interstate repair project along a 4.34-mile section of I-69 in Madisonville. The work zone stretches from the 113.81-mile point in front of the mall to the KY 2657/Fowler Road overpass (118.15-mile point).
