Bridges at Henderson offer delays Friday


The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict both north- and southbound traffic to one lane on Henderson's U.S. 41 Twin Bridges during the day on Friday, weather permitting. All traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane in the work zone.

Motorists can expect to encounter a lane restriction on the northbound bridge starting about 8:30 a.m., Friday. Work on the northbound side should be completed and the work zone removed by about 10:30 a.m.

Motorists can expect to encounter a lane restriction on the southbound side of the U.S. 41 Twin Bridges starting about 11 a.m., on Friday. Work on the southbound side should be completed and the work zone removed by about 2:30 p.m.

Motorists should be prepared to encounter slowing and merging traffic on the bridge approaches. Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and maintenance personnel are on the bridge deck in close proximity to traffic flow.

The lane restrictions on Friday are to allow maintenance on the electrical system and navigation lights. The KYTC District 2 Bridge Crew expects to complete deck patching operations on the southbound bridge today.

At this time, no lane restrictions are planned for the US 41 Twin Bridges next week.
