LAWRENCEBURG, Ind. — Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) officials announced on Friday an update to the year-long lane restrictions on the Carroll Cropper Bridge as a new zone painting project gets underway.

On Dec. 31, the lane closure on the bridge's westbound side will come to an end, per KYTC, while the eastbound lane closure will continue until March 31, 2026.

The extended eastbound lane restriction will allow contractors to focus on painting sections of the bridge's new steel, which KYTC District 6 Chief Engineer Bob Yeager said will protect against rust.

"All those places that have been repaired are now exposed to the elements. They have to be painted," he said. "It's all underneath (the bridge) where the repairs are being done."
