The scheduled closure of the Memorial Bridge connecting downtown Vincennes and Westport is about a week away. The closure will allow more repairs to the span, including re-placement of the stone façade at the Vincennes end of the bridge.
The project is being overseen by the adjacent George Rogers Clark National Park. G-R-C chief ranger Joe Herron says the closure is quicker than he expected. However, Herron knows the finished product will be well worth it.
The closure means that route into downtown Vincennes will be closed off for the Christmas holiday season. The detour around the closure will use the Red Skelton Bridge to the Vincennes bypass on U-S 50 and U-S 41.
