Expect to add some time to your commute if you travel over the twin bridges this week! More work is expected to be done both Northbound and Southbound.

According to the Kentucky Department of Transportation;

"The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet plans a brief northbound lane restriction at the north end of the US 41 Henderson Strip on Wednesday, February 22, 2017.

This daytime lane restriction will run from US 41 milepoint 17.5 to milepoint 18.5.  This is along the north end of the US 41 Henderson Strip running from near the entrance to Audubon State Park to near the Stratman Road/Wolf Hills Road intersection.  The northbound work zone is to allow the removal of trash and numerous items that have been illegally dumped along the US 41 right-of-way in this area.

This lane restriction for northbound traffic is about a mile south of the US 41 Twin Bridges.  All northbound traffic will move to the left-hand or passing lane in this work zone.

This daytime lane restriction for northbound traffic is expected to go up about 9 a.m., CST, Wednesday.  It is expected to be in place for about two hours.
Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and maintenance personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow."

Then on Thursday, work on the Southbound bridge continues.

"A contractor plans a southbound lane restriction on the US 41 Twin Bridges between Henderson and Evansville on THURSDAY, and again over the weekend.

On Thursday, February 23rd a contractor plans to restrict southbound traffic from approximately 8:30 a.m., CST, to about 2:30 p.m., to continue installation work on a solar navigation lighting system on the southbound bridge.

No lane restriction is planed during the day on FRIDAY.

The contractor plans to return with a southbound lane restriction starting at 9 p.m., Friday night, and continuing around the clock through the weekend until sometime Sunday afternoon.

 Southbound commuters should allow extra travel time.  Appropriate caution is required where equipment, flaggers, and other personnel are along the roadway in close proximity to traffic flow"
