The Sherman Minton Bridge was suddenly closed on Thursday due to damage officials have discovered.
Both sides of the I-64 bridge were closed overnight after crews realized a portion of the bridge was in need of immediate repair.
Engineers with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet and the Indiana Department of Transportation are conducting detailed inspections of components of the Kentucky approach to the bridge, identifying repairs necessary to safely reopen the bridge to traffic.
A spokesperson for the Sherman Minton Renewal team said crews are working diligently to reopen the bridge, however, the closure will remain in place until further notice.
Drivers are encouraged to use alternate routes and to expect delays. Officials suggest using I-265 and I-65 instead of I-64.
