blue bridge

There was once a toll booth on the Indiana side of the Owensboro blue bridge, the remnants of which were still there as recently as 1980. Does anyone remember?

Due to a rise in COVID-19 cases in the area, Owensboro's Bridge Night, scheduled for this Friday and Saturday, will no longer be an in-person event. The lighting of the bridge will be live-streamed.

The nighttime view in Downtown Owensboro is about to get brighter. There's a big celebration planned with a light show, live music and more.

This is one of my absolute favorite photos we took during our publicity shoot for Kinky Boots.  All credit for this idea goes to Kenny King from Dream Copy Photography.  He wanted to do a Beatles-inspired Kinky Boots bridge walk and, well, we did!!  In the middle of the afternoon rush hour.  I got honks, stares and one proposition.  LOL!

Owensboro's Blue Bridge is being painted and we have pictures. Closed since May 15, right after the Owensboro International Barbecue Festival, the bridge's painters are making great headway. According to the Messenger-Inquirer, the tarp will soon be thrown back and the new colors revealed. More work remains until it reopens for the winter in November. It is very dangerous work and the project has

A worker on Owensboro's Blue Bridge who suffered injuries Monday evening has died. Daviess County coroner Jeff Jones has confirmed that burns on the hands of the 35-year-old repair crew member are consistent with electrocution.

This is the classic case of good news and bad news.  The good news- The Glover H. Cary Bridge in Owensboro (a.k.a. the Blue Bridge) is finally being painted.  The bad news- it's going to be closed a LONG time because of it!

Technically it is the Glover Cary bridge. But, we call it the "Blue Bridge" because of its color. Kentucky and Indiana highway officials have indicated the bridge is scheduled for repainting in about 2017 (which happens to be Owensboro's bicentennial) at an estimated cost of 8 to 10 million dollars. But, I have a hunch it may be sooner. Word is out Governor Steve Beshear in speaking tomo
