Cairo Bridge over Ohio River has reopened

 The Cairo Bridge is reopened.

It reopens yesterday six days ahead of schedule.

The contractor has completed concrete resurfacing and levee maintenance work on a 2-mile section of the Kentucky approach, so the bridge was reopened to one-lane traffic.

The Ohio River bridge had been closed since August 1.  During the closure, commuters between Wickliffe and Cairo had to drive around on an 80-mile detour.
