2 Bridges at Cairo IL any restrictions ?

According to the Mcnally no restrictions on them but best check with the DOT in that area.

They are open to normal state weight and size limits right now, just checked myself on the site at the temp restrictions section

 

They are tight lanes and mirror smackers if you are a rookie. You have to have good lane control. But if you are coming and going from the Sikeston, MO area to KY/ vise versa it's about the only way. On the KY side there is a blind almost 90* curve at the beginning/end depending which way you are going. I would announce my presence on the CB as two trucks don't want to meet there. Also on the KY side is the DOT set up in a small trailer on the north side of the road not far from that curve. If they are open both directions have to stop. They are usually 8am-5pm.

If you like that bridge there is another one like it up in WI/IA line across the Mississippi we can send you to.

 

I was across those bridges last month, and it was fine.

 

I believe you're referring to the bridges on US 60 between Paducah, KY and Sikeston, MO. I just went thru there 2 weeks ago and they are open and have no restrictions that I'm aware of. But, like CondoCruiser said, they are VERY narrow. If you pass another truck, you're literally going to have about 6 inches of clearance between your mirror and theirs. Absolutely no room for error.

 

Needless to say, it's an "interesting" experience!

 

If anybody sees a mirror from a Peterbilt with a Wilson antennae laying on the ground would you be kind enough to stop and pick it up? I"ll pay the postage to have it mailed to my house in Bugtussell.
