Traffic Alert: Twin bridges lane restrictions

Posted: Updated:
HENDERSON CO., KY (WFIE) -

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet Henderson County Highway plans daytime cleaning and maintenance work on the SOUTHBOUND lanes of the US 41 Twin Bridges on Wednesday and Thursday, August 1 and 2.

Maintenance crews are planning a daytime lane restriction on the SOUTHBOUND bridge starting at 8:30 a.m., on Wednesday for deck cleaning and maintenance work.  Work should be completed and the southbound lane restriction removed by about 3:00 p.m.  The southbound lane restriction will continue on Thursday, if required.

Meanwhile, a contractor plans to continue NIGHTTIME lane restrictions on the SOUTHBOUND bridge from approximately 7:00 p.m., through about 6:00 a.m., on Wednesday and possibly Thursday for ongoing deck patching work.  This work is being scheduled at night to reduce traffic disruptions and to avoid heat-related issues with special concrete being used in the patching process.

We will attempt to provide timely updates as this work progresses.
