PADUCAH/BROOKPORT – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet will block the U.S. 45 Ohio River “Brookport Bridge” in Paducah for about three hours Wednesday to make repairs to navigational lighting that directs marine river traffic safely up and down the river.

The planned blockage will begin at 9 a.m. The bridge is expected to reopen that same day at around noon.

Motorists may self-detour via the Interstate 24 Ohio River Bridge.
