LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) -- A busy roadway connecting the Highlands to downtown Louisville will be closed the next three months.
Beginning Monday, East Broadway will close between Campbell Street and Barret Avenue.
Construction is being done to replace a nearly 100-year-old bridge over the South Fork of Beargrass Creek. It will be shut down and will remain closed for 90 days.
The bridge carries nearly 20,000 vehicles each day. Traffic will be directed to Baxter Avenue via Barrett Avenue or East Chestnut Street. Access to local businesses will not be affected during construction.
A nearly $1.5 million contract was awarded in February to Louisville Paving to replace the aging structure.
