Color
Local residents call the Cary Bridge the "Blue Bridge" because of its color. The Messenger-Inquirer (Owensboro's newspaper) sponsored a straw poll vote to determine what color to paint the bridge. Not surprisingly, blue was the overwhelming winner. Kentucky and Indiana highway officials have indicated the bridge is scheduled for repainting in about 2017 (which happens to be Owensboro's bicentennial) at an estimated cost of 8 to 10 million dollars.
