Repair work is starting Monday, November 9, on the U.S. 41 Twin Bridges, which carry traffic over the Ohio River between Evansville, Indiana, and Henderson, Kentucky.

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet says the work will focus on the southbound bridge's support structure and is expected to last throughout the week.

One lane of southbound traffic is currently being shifted onto the northbound bridge while the southbound structure is repaired. That traffic pattern will remain in place until the work is finished.

Transportation officials say the materials needed for the repairs were fabricated for this project and were expected to arrive in time for the November 9 start.

If the schedule holds, the repairs should take up to a week, and all four lanes of the Twin Bridges could be open again before the Thanksgiving holiday.
