The Newport Southbank Bridge Company has retained an engineering firm to determine the extent of repairs that will be needed to reopen the Purple People Bridge between Newport and Cincinnati.
The pedestrian bridge that crosses the Ohio River has been closed since May 11, when a large stone fell into the river from a pier on the north bank.
The bridge company said in a news release that WSP USA will evaluate the condition and safety of the span. We once again ask for the public s patience as we work diligently to reopen the popular span, so that it can be enjoyed in the safest manner possible, the release said.

Bruce VanHook, who manages the cemetery, was there at 6:30 a.m.
“Between him and I, we have patrolled for probably the last two hours and we cannot see anything that is similar to a monkey,” Bittner said.
The cemetery does have a flock of wild turkeys, he said.
“Wild turkeys nest in trees, so the question is were they nesting in the trees, because whoever filmed and put on social media, it was through the power lines because you can see the power lines in the video.”
Bittner said that means the animals had to be in the trees in section 29 near West 8th Street across from Kilbert Avenue.
