BRIDGE TO NOWHERE

Strike that...

In Cairo, make that no bridge anywhere!

A wreck involving a semi-truck has closed the Cairo-Wickliffe bridge for an estimated four hours.

If Horace Greeley were alive, he would strongly advise:

"Go North, young man...Go North!"

CAIRO, IL (KFVS) - According to the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet, a wreck involving semi-truck has forced emergency crews to shut down the US 51/US 60/US 62 Ohio River Bridge between Wickliffe and Cairo.

They estimate the bridge could be closed for 4 hours this morning.

This means that all 3 bridges at Cairo are closed. The other 2 bridges between Illinois and Missouri are closed for repair. The I-57 bridge between Missouri and Illinois is scheduled to reopen tomorrow.
