"I can tell you it's not going to be today. It's not going to be tomorrow. And I don't want to rush anything." 

The commissioners said large trucks carrying heavy loads have caused excessive damage.

Ken Conklin, a spokesman for the Town of Clarksville, made the announcement Friday afternoon.

Later this month, crews plan to close a section of Blackiston Mill Road from just behind the Kroger on Lewis and Clark Parkway to Blackiston View Drive.

The busy access bridge used by drivers to get between New Albany and Clarksville closed to traffic completely for emergency repairs Tuesday morning.

Officials told WDRB News last week that the front of the pier has blocks that have moved and eroded. 

One lane of the bridge will be closed to traffic starting Friday, and the entire bridge will be closed from Jan. 31 through Feb. 3. 

Since the bridge belongs to Floyd County and New Albany, Conklin said they're unsure when the bridge will reopen.
