\nThe Sherman Minton Bridge is now closed to traffic in both directions until further notice.<\/p>\n
The Sherman Minton Renewal Project announced the total closure of the bridge in a social media post made at 1:20 p.m. Friday.<\/p>\n
According to the project\u2019s website, the closure was ordered after a component of the bridge deck on the main span was found to need immediate inspection and possible repair before traffic can be permitted to cross the bridge.<\/p>\n
Project officials say the problem was found during scheduled deck pour operations.<\/p>\n
The Sherman Minton Bridge, which opened in 1962, carries Interstate 64 traffic between Louisville and Floyd County, Indiana.
