2011 New Issues
On September 9, 2011, Kentucky and Indiana officials announced the closure of the Sherman Minton Bridge. Cracks in bridge support beams found during an inspection on that day led to the bridge closure, which transportation officials indicated would last for an as yet undetermined length of time. The bridge is a major connection between Louisville and Southern Indiana and is Interstate 64’s pathway between the states.
The bridge reopened shortly before midnight on February 17, 2012, almost two weeks ahead of a deadline imposed by both states for completion of repairs.
