Hopkinsville, KY – I-24 Eastbound is shutdown in Christian County around the 77 mile marker as emergency responders deal with a tractor trailer fire. Transportation spokesman Keith Todd says the trailer was apparently loaded down with tires. A detour has been set up at Exit 73 on highway 117 Gracey over to US 41-A and back onto I-24 at Exit 86. Kentucky State Police say they are unsure how long the roadway will remain closed to traffic.
