PADUCAH – A contractor for the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will continue a work zone lane restriction on the U.S. 51 Ohio River “Cairo” Bridge between Wickliffe and Cairo this week.

Starting tomorrow a temporary traffic signal will be in place to control alternating traffic flow through the work zone. Delays are possible.

A crew has been replacing deck railing along the bridge since about Jan. 3.

The updated estimate of duration for this work zone has been extended for about 5 weeks, weather permitting.

KYTC District 1 will attempt to provide timely updates on this project.

The U.S. 51 Bridge Replacement Project is now in the Final Design stage. For more, visit us51bridge.com.
