route downtown via the Spring Street bike lane, I might be able to flash my "These Machines Kill Fascists" shirt at St. Daniels and then still have time left over to open BSB early so as to deny entry to him when he asks for a belt o'bourbon before mounting his chopper to ride into one of those Major Move rathole cracks on the Sherman Minton Bridge
Sighhh ... a boy can dream.
Officials plan to provide time and cost of fixing bridge, by the C-J's Marcus Green.
The governors of Kentucky and Indiana plan Friday to deliver the news that thousands of people in their states have waited three weeks to hear — how long it will take to fix the Sherman Minton Bridge, and what it will cost.
While several government officials said the timeline for repairs could range between approximately three to six months, they stressed that the ultimate decision rests with Indiana Gov. Mitch Daniels and Kentucky Gov. Steve Beshear. Beyond announcing the news conference, their offices declined to comment.
Federal Highway Administrator Victor Mendez is expected to join Beshear and Daniels at 9:30 a.m. at New Albany Fire headquarters.

Just announced the bridge will be closed 6 months to fix shit that has been there for years. Durning this time New Albany will be hurt and the I-65 and 2nd street bridge will get more traffic than it's was built to support. Someone needs to ask the hard questions.
The first is why can't the work be done with a open or restricted traffic on the bridge instead of closing the damn thing?
The second is how much is political to get federal $$ for a bridge project that is bigger then we need and should have been done years ago.
Imagine if we spent half as much time and money in homage to brains as we do bridges.
