The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans daytime work zone lane restrictions along the U.S. 68/Eggners Ferry Bridge near Aurora in two weeks.
District One Spokesman Keith Todd says beginning the week of July 13, crews will use an Under Bridge Inspection Vehicle to conduct a detailed inspection of the bridge structure. Todd adds the work zone will include a daytime closure of the multi-use trail that crosses the bridge. No pedestrian or bicycle traffic will be allowed to cross the bridge while this work zone is active.
The work zone will maintain one lane of highway traffic in each direction with all traffic to be moved to the left-hand or passing lane.
Todd reminds residents that all bridges in the Commonwealth get a detailed inspection every two years. All long-span lake and river bridges get an additional annual walk-through inspection.
