As a safety precaution, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is planning to close the Brookport Bridge by 7 a.m. Saturday, ahead of the weekend winter storm.
The bridge has a metal grated deck that cools down quickly when temperatures drop, which allows ice to form on the steel.
With temperatures expected to remain below freezing for the next 7 to 10 days, the closure may also last that long.
KYTC will provide notice when the Brookport Bridge can safely reopen to traffic.
