I-275 CARROLL CROPPER BRIDGE UPDATES
Crews are actively working on three additional expansion joint repairs that were added to the repair project. Preparations for floor beam repairs are also moving forward — phasing and design have been approved, and the final step is getting a scaffolding plan approved before work can begin. More updates on the floor beam repairs will follow.
***
Westbound Traffic (drivers heading from Kentucky to Indiana):
-
On Wednesday, Aug. 20, westbound traffic was switched to the right lane beginning near the Petersburg exit to past the truss of the bridge. Traffic will then shift to the left lane after the truss. This traffic shift is in place to allow contractors space to perform expansion joint repairs.
We've launched a project website via our Driving NKY Progress site to provide the most up-to-date information about the repair project. The website explains the work that is being performed, the work that was added to the original T-1 steel repair project, traffic impacts and includes a frequently asked questions portion that provides valuable information. We will continue to update this site as progress continues.
