Henderson bridge delays expected

Daytime lane restrictions on the southbound side of the U.S. 41 twin bridges in Henderson will continue this week. Motorists should be prepared to encounter daytime lane restrictions on the southbound side of the bridges starting at about 8:30 a.m. Lane restrictions are expected to be removed by about 3 p.m. each day.

The daytime lane restriction is to allow the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District 2 Bridge Crew to patch the deck on the bridge. Due to weather interruptions last week this work is expected to continue all this week and possibly into the following week.

Southbound motorists should be prepared to encounter slowing and merging traffic on the bridge approach each day, weather permitting. Early in the week all southbound traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane.

No lane restrictions are planned on the northbound bridge at this time.
