PADUCAH, Ky. (July 19, 2024) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) plans to temporarily close the U.S. 45 Ohio River ‘Brookport’ Bridge for about three hours on Tuesday morning, July 23, 2024.

The U.S. 45 Ohio River ‘Brookport’ Bridge will close promptly at 9 a.m., CDT, Tuesday, and remain closed until about 12 p.m., Tuesday.

This closure is to allow a contractor to examine the existing navigational lighting on the bridge to help design a new navigational lighting system to be installed in the future. The placement of equipment to facilitate the work will require the bridge to be closed to all traffic for about three hours.

There will be no marked detour. Motorists may self-detour via the Interstate 24 Ohio River Bridge.
