The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans a daytime lane restriction at the east end of US 68/KY 80 Lake Barkley Bridge at Canton in Trigg County Thursday and Friday (June 9 and 10).

KYTC estimates restrictions from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. both days.

Work along the shoulder is in preparation for the construction of tie-ins for future connections to the new bridge under construction.

The new bridge is expected to open October 2017.
