Ohio River Bridge to Close at Midnight Thursday

Ballard County, Kentucky - The Kentucky Transportation will close the Ohio River “Cairo” Bridge and US 51 South of Wickliffe near the Ballard-Carlisle County line at midnight on Thursday, December 31, 2015.

According to Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District #1 they are required to close US 51 at the 6-mile marker between Wickliffe and the bridge at a little over 55 feet, thus cutting off access to the bridge.

There are about 5,000 plus cars and trucks that cross the bridge each day.  Drivers are advised to plan ahead and consider alternate routes of travel.
