A stretch of the Kentucky River is now off-limits for bridge work

The Coast Guard is temporarily closing a section of the Kentucky River near Frankfort. This is to protect people and boats while work happens on the Broadway Bridge.

When infrastructure projects happen on navigable waterways, they often require temporary restrictions. These small, local closures are a routine part of maintaining and upgrading bridges and other structures over rivers and canals. They ensure safety for both construction crews and river traffic.
