The bridge carrying Interstate 64 over the Ohio River between Louisville, KY and Southern Indiana was closed for emergency structural repairs on Friday. This Report, from CBS news, indicates the closure may last up to six months.
To alleviate congestion, an excursion boat operator has announced shuttle service from Jeffersonville, IN to Louisville's Fourth St. Wharf for $1 each way. A report from WLKY.com, explains the service.
A riverboat carrying 300 passengers per trip maximum doesn't make much of a dent replacing a closed bridge that carried 80,000 vehicles per day, but hats off to the Spirit of Jefferson operators for quickly providing an outlet and assistance to commuters.
