The Simon Kenton Memorial Bridge (US 62) in downtown Maysville will temporarily close Thursday for a routine annual inspection.
Beginning at 9 a.m. Thursday, July 14, Kentucky Transportation Cabinet engineers will close the Ohio River bridge (US 62 milepoint 17.5) in Mason County to check support cables and other structural components. The bridge should reopen by 3 p.m. or as soon as inspections are complete.
The work is weather dependent. In case of windy conditions or rain, the bridge inspection and closure will be rescheduled for Friday, July 15, or on the next available date. Watch signs for changes.
While the bridge is closed, all traffic should detour using the William H. Harsha Bridge (US 68) three miles west of Maysville to connect between Kentucky and US 52, US 62, or US 68 in Ohio.
