The KYTC issued a project completion date on Friday.
(Petersburg, Ky.) - There are currently two separate projects underway on the Carroll Cropper Bridge, which carries I-275 traffic over the Ohio River between Kentucky and Indiana.
The first is an ongoing steel repair project that includes T-1 steel repairs, expansion joint repairs, and floor beam repairs. The T-1 steel and expansion joint repairs are complete, and crews are now focused on finishing the floor beam repairs—the final phase of the project. Once this work is complete, all westbound lanes are expected to reopen by Wednesday, December 31.
The second is a zone painting project that began in late November 2025. Zone painting is essential maintenance for steel bridges, helping protect against corrosion in vulnerable areas such as floor beams, beneath joints, and locations where existing paint has deteriorated. Only the eastbound lanes will need to remain closed for the duration of this work, which is expected to be completed by March 31, 2026, weather permitting
