Eggners Ferry Bridge Inspection Starts Tuesday

A bridge inspection crew plans to restrict westbound traffic to one lane on the Eggners Ferry Bridge at Aurora starting Tuesday, July 17.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says westbound traffic will be restricted to one lane on the bridge between 7 a.m. and 3 p.m. each day. 

Some lane restrictions may be required for eastbound traffic on Thursday or Friday.

All Kentucky bridges get a detailed inspection every two years as part of a federally mandated bridge safety program.  Long-span lake and river bridges get an extra walk-through inspection annually.
