The bridge is expected to be closed until spring
Drivers in Henderson need to prepare for an extended bridge closure and lane closures to accommodate work on Section 1 of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing (ORX).
The Adams Lane bridge over US 41 is scheduled to close on or after Monday, Dec. 9 and is expected to be closed until spring. Crews are completing extensive work and replacing the superstructure, which includes the beams and bridge deck. Crews will also make upgrades to the barrier and guardrail.
The long-term closure is expected to begin around 9 a.m. on Monday, after the morning commute. Signed detours will be in place utilizing Airline Road and Southside Drive.
US 41 (Pennyrile Parkway) under the Adams Lane bridge is expected to be reduced to a single lane in each direction during much of the work. Drivers should slow down, use caution, and pay close attention while adjusting to the change.
When preparing for a new deck overlay in summer 2023, crews determined more extensive work was needed on the bridge. The closure will allow for that work to be completed, and the improvements will greatly extend the life of the bridge.
Next Spring: Airline Road Bridge to be Replaced
After the work on the Adams Lane overpass bridge is complete, crews will turn their attention to the Airline Road overpass bridge, which is being replaced as part of the I-69 ORX project. That work is expected to start in spring 2025. More details will be provided closer to date.
