Twin Bridges lane restriction Friday

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict northbound traffic to one lane on the US 41 Twin Bridges on Friday.

All northbound traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane starting about 8:30 a.m. The northbound lane restriction is expected to remain up until approximately 2 p.m.

The northbound lane restriction is to allow maintenance on barge hit detection sensors on the northbound bridge. Motorists should be alert for slowing and merging traffic near the KY 414/Stratman Road/Wolf Hills Road intersection.

The US 41 Twin Bridges, also known as the Bi-State Viet Nam Gold Star Memorial Bridges, are located at US 41 about a mile south of the Kentucky-Indiana State Line. They carry approximately 40,000 vehicles per day across the Ohio River between Henderson and Evansville.
