Rolling lane closures signal continued I-69 ORX progress
HENDERSON, Ky. (WEHT) – More progress means more road construction — and that is evident by the scenes along Interstate 69 in Henderson County. Crews continue their work to put the pieces together to complete the I-69 Ohio River Crossing Project (ORX).
The focus of the more recent work centers around the Adams Lane bridge, set to be rebuilt across I-69. Work forced periodic rolling lane closures in both northbound and southbound directions as beams for the bridge were loaded into place, eight total, with four placed in the north and southbound sides. Officials with I-69 ORX say the new bridge is set to open this Spring.
Daily lane closures planned for U.S. 41 in Vanderburgh County
Construction also continues along US Highway 60 just east of Henderson, developing another set of three roundabout interchanges at Bethel Tillman Road. These roundabouts are expected to open this Summer. Work is also underway to complete the new interstate route that will lead to the approach to the new bridge connecting Indiana and Kentucky.
Across the river, even more work is underway as the bridge's approach on the Indiana side slowly takes shape. Large cranes can be seen in the area where work is taking place. As the new route becomes more visible, the distance between the new bridge and existing Twin Bridges also becomes clearer. Eyewitness News is expecting to get an up-close look from the construction site in late February.

Highway robbery: Scammers bring back classic scam
(WHTM) — Ever get a text message saying you owe money for a toll? The messages know how to get your attention. They claim you have an outstanding traffic ticket and that if you don't pay immediately, you'll lose your registration and driving privileges. That got drive Scott Ruby's attention. 'I know that they can be awfully confusing to people, especially my age, who take this stuff for truth,' Ruby said. As summer returns, so does this infamous scam. States are warning drivers they will never text demanding money. The bottom line: Don't respond to unsolicited texts. Easy enough for Ruby — 'I owe so much that I ignore them anyway.' If you're ever unsure, call the state's agency directly at its official number to verify. Find more stories on Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
