Wickliffe, KY

US 51/60/62 bridge over the Ohio River between Wickliffe, KY and Cairo, IL is closed due to flooding, and is expected to remain closed for about a week.

US 51 Ohio River 'Cairo' Bridge to close at 6 p.m. on March 2

 

37 and 45 are class 1 truck routes, so you'll be fine running them. 169 is designated a class 3 truck route, which used to have 96" width and 72,380 gross restrictions, and the KPRA was a little shorter (42'6" ). Few years back state law changed to allow 102" & 80K throughout the state, so the weight and width restrictions no longer apply...but there is still a 65' overall length limit and shorter KPRA...but of course that only matters IF you meet a cop AND he knows about the restrictions.

 

It's open again.
