VANDERBURGH COUNTY, Ind. – The Indiana Department of Transportation announces lane restrictions as a part of the Fix for 41 Bridge rehab project in Evansville.

Beginning on or around Wednesday July 5, contractors will restrict the southbound Ohio River Bridge between Evansville and Henderson, Kentucky for a bridge deck rehab and overlay. There will be two northbound lands and one southbound lane routed onto the northbound bridge. There will be one southbound lane open for heavy truck traffic.

Wide and oversized loads will need to use the U.S. 231 Ohio River Crossing at Maceo, Kentucky. This route uses U.S. 41, Indiana State Road 66, U.S. 231, U.S. 60 Bypass in Owensboro, Kentucky, the Audubon Parkway, and Pennyrile Parkway between Owensboro and Henderson.  

This is the first phase of the Fix for 41 project and is scheduled to last until this fall. For more information about the project, you can visit fixfor41.indot.in.gov.  INDOT urges motorists to slow down and stay alert in construction zones.
