On Monday, crews will begin a routine inspection of the bridge spanning Green River near the Ohio/Muhlenberg County line.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) said a contractor “will close the eastbound right (slow) lane across the bridge to allow inspectors to safely evaluate the structure.”
Motorists should anticipate minor delays and are encouraged to use caution while traveling through the work zone, which is at the 65.5-mile marker.
The inspection will utilize a specialized piece of equipment commonly referred to as a “snooper truck.”
“The vehicle is designed to extend below the bridge deck, allowing trained inspectors to access and visually examine the bridge’s substructure without disrupting traffic more than necessary,” according to the KYTC.
Inspection work is scheduled to take place between 7:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. each day from Monday, March 9 until Friday, March 13.
Work will begin on the eastbound side of the parkway, then move to the westbound slow lane.
Motorists are reminded to reduce speed, stay alert, and watch for signage and personnel when traveling through the area.
