TRAFFIC ADVISORY: Routine Inspection of the Clark Memorial Bridge Next Week in Downtown Louisville
Lane closures scheduled underneath the bridge in downtown Louisville and Jeffersonville, Ind.
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (June 6, 2025) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises the public of the upcoming routine, hands-on inspection of the Clark Memorial Bridge (U.S. 31) in downtown Louisville. The inspection will not require traffic impacts on the bridge.
Beginning Monday, June 9, daily lane closures will be in place underneath the bridge to accommodate snooper trucks and other inspection equipment. Affected areas included North Second Street near the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville and West Market Street/West Riverside Drive in Jeffersonville, Ind. The lane closures will occur from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. through Friday, June 13, to avoid disrupting rush hour traffic. Flaggers will direct motorists through the work zones.
The second inspection phase will occur Monday, June 16, through Friday, June 20. Inspectors will climb the bridge’s steel truss to inspect the upper steel beams. This work will occur during daytime hours and does not require lane closures on the bridge. Crews will stage equipment on the southbound sidewalk, which may temporarily restrict pedestrian access. The northbound sidewalk remains closed to pedestrians.
Motorists should heed signage and use caution when traveling through the work zones.
The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
