Officials with the I-69 Ohio River Crossing say lane closures will be in place first week of April. Officials say as crews begin reconstructing the KY 351 interchange as part of Section 1 of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing, lane restrictions are scheduled for the first week of April. KY 351/2nd Street will be reduced to one lane in each direction from in front of North Middle School to the US 41 southbound ramps. The closures will allow crews to install new under-the-road storm drainage, along with completing other work in the area.
Drivers in Henderson will see work begin this week on US 41 between the 2nd Street/KY 351 and US 60 interchanges to accommodate construction of Section One of the I-69 Ohio River Crossing.
