blue bridge

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

Remember, tomorrow is the day Bridge day returns! The second annual opportunity to walk the Blue Bridge will take place in conjunction with the quickly growing East Bridge Arts Festival in downtown Owensboro presented by Studio Slant.

The Blue Bridge, officially the Glover Cary bridge reopened this morning and was open till 6pm to foot and bike traffic. Closed since July 5th the last time the bridge was available for non-vehicle traffic was 1940 when it opened. This morning my wife, Debra and B. Dawn Kadonk from the Demolition Dolls, Evansville's Roller Derby and I crossed the bridge.

Word just in from the Kentucky Transportation Department that July 5th will be the closing date for the rbidge to be repaired. Deck replacement will take about three months. Had the bridge, actually the Glover Cary Bridge,  remained partly open it would take twice as long...
