A detonation is planned this week to explode the George Rogers Clark
Memorial Bridge, commonly known as Old Ledbetter Bridge. The explosion
is set for 8 a.m. Tuesday and viewing areas will be arranged by the
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet on the new U.S. 60 Tennessee River
Bridge. A safety zone will be enforced around the bridge, which means
the public may not come within 1,500 feet of the blast site. Property
owners are permitted to stay in their homes, but may not go outdoors
after 7 a.m., or an hour before the blast.
