Sherman Minton bridge open to three lanes in both directions for weekday travel

As final construction activities wind down, all three lanes on both decks of the Sherman Minton bridge are now open to traffic during daytime hours.

“Drivers have patiently awaited this milestone, and we know that full weekday access to the bridge is a relief,” said Danny Corbin, Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT) project manager. “Aside from a final daytime bridge inspection in November to conclude the project, drivers should expect three open lanes during their weekday commutes.”

Remaining construction activities requiring lane restrictions will take place during weekend or overnight hours as the project nears completion in late November.

“We greatly appreciate the public’s patience and support for this major rehabilitation project that will add up to 30 years of life to this vital community connector,” said Royce Meredith, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet project manager.
