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.
