Show Notes
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet delays Carroll Cropper Bridge reopening due to additional repairs, pushing back eastbound lane reopening from March 31st to April 6th. Crews working extended hours to minimize traffic congestion. After April 6th, bridge reopens daily from 6 a.m. to 8 p.m., with major work shifted to nights and potential weekend daytime closures. Local business owners in Lawrenceburg, Indiana express mixed feelings after fifteen months of disruptions, with one theater owner reporting record sales but noting fewer visitors from northern Kentucky. The nearly fifty-year-old bridge, spanning the Ohio River between Kentucky and Indiana, underwent repairs starting in January due to steel deterioration. Teams have completed T-one steel fixes and expansion joints, now focusing on spot painting against rust. Officials aim for full service by May to alleviate commuter and business owner struggles.
