Expect Delays on the Spotsville Bridge Monday March 26

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans to restrict traffic to one lane on the US 60 Green River Bridge at Spottsville on Monday, March 26, 2012. 

The lane restriction with alternating traffic flow controlled by flaggers is to allow routine maintenance and inspection work on the bridge structure. 

A lane restriction is expected to be in place on the Spottsville Bridge from approximately 8:00 a.m. to approximately 11:00 a.m., CDT, on Monday. 

Motorists should be alert for stopped traffic on the bridge approaches.  Delays should be less than 4 minutes. This work is scheduled on a weather permitting basis.

The Spottsville Bridge is located at US 60 mile point 19.388 in Henderson County.  Also known as the Spottsville Bridge and the Richard W. Owen Memorial Bridge, the 797 foot long structure was built as a toll bridge and opened to traffic in 1931.  Tolls were removed in August 1945. 

Approximately 3,000 vehicles cross the bridge in an average day.  The US 60 Green River Bridge at Spottsville is 9 miles east of the US 60-US 41 Cloverleaf at Henderson and about 6 miles west of the Henderson-Daviess County Line.
