Bridge Structure May Be Shifting

WISHING EVERYONE A SAFE AND HAPPY MEMORIAL DAY WEEKEND......................................................................................................Congratulations to the Class of 2013 at Hopkinsville High School, Christian County High School, and University Heights Academy.....................................................................................................From the News Edge: The operators of Green Hill Memorial Gardens face charges of violating graves and stealing items that were meant for the burials of individuals at the cemetery...........................................................................................................Update From the Weather Edge: Staff Meteorologist David Bryant says there will be a chance of thunderstorms in the forecast towards the end of the Memorial Day weekend. However, at this point severe weather is not expected.

It appears the remaining structure of the Eggner Ferry Bridge may be shifting. Saturday afternoon a LBL Ranger noticed that something had apparently changed on the bridge. Deck guardrail where the deck transitions from an approach span to the last truss span is now showing signs of being bent where the two spans join. Inspectors say this may provide an additional indication that a pier on the truss section has shifted since Friday. Pictures are courtesy of Keith Todd with the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet.
