A repair project on the I-471 Daniel Carter Beard Bridge will begin on Monday, July 15, with multiple lane closures planned over the next several months.
“Contractors will begin work on the northbound portion of the I-471 bridge, which is expected to take 90 days,” according to an announcement from Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
Double and/or triple lane closures are expected Sunday through Thursday during overnight hours of 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.
Crews will then work on the southbound portion of the bridge; these repairs are also expected to take around 90 days.
Lane closures will not occur over Labor Day weekend. Weather permitting, the overall project is scheduled for completion by the beginning of December.
