You can also see a time lapse movie !! And if you use the triangle buttons at the bottom left corner of the cam screen, you can jump back the view in 4hr increments or 15min increments.
Pretty cool !! And it would also be useful for determining the current conditions.

That is so neat! Thanks for sharing.
For some reason when you look at it on some devices, only one camera shows. There are 4 cameras with different views selectable in the tabs across the top.
Foggy on the lake this morning in the 0645 shot!

That's awsome bud thanks for sharing
Are you still allowed to pass under the bridge if you're coming from south to north?
Yes. Just be careful in the area. Barges being moved and cranes in operation. Go through under the main span where barge traffic goes and you should be fine.Quote:

I like the way the bridge is coming along. Are they going to tear down and rebuild the EF bridge after this one is done?
No, this is the replacement for the Eggner's Ferry bridge. It will be torn down when the new one opens.Quote:

The new bridge had been planned for several years prior to the accident that took out the span section. Immediately after that fiasco there was a lot of talk of not repairing the bridge and just speeding up the work on the replacement. This bridge, and a new one over Lake Barkley, are part of a 4-lane project that will tie in the 69 corridor from Bowling Green to the Purchase Parkway. Of course it is taking so long many of us will not live to see it.
I despise government and government waste as much as anybody but there will only be a handful of folks who will not be happy to see the Eggners Ferry Bridge gone.
From what I was told the needed to repair the old one a soon as they could so people could get to work without driving clear up to the dam to get to the other side
I hope I get to drive on the new one some day that old one is pretty tight for my truck
Looks like they just finished up the deck. Word is the new bridge will be opened partially within the next couple of weeks if the weather cooperates.
If I never drive across that old bridge again I will be one happy guy...that old bridge is scary. Since I usually fish & stay on the north end I usually don't get down that way in the spring but I may make a fall trip this year and if I do I'll be staying down that way. I hope they get it opened by then.
That is neat... thanks
They are pouring dividers this week. Bridge will be ready for traffic very shortly assuming all goes well.
We had better hope they get it done and open before some osprey puts a stick on the old bridge to start a nest. Bunny-humpers will shut the whole thing down.Quote:

I was curious about the need for four lanes on 68-80 as I was driving on it. I can't say that I have ever gotten west of Cadiz and thought, "Man, this sure needs to be four lanes."Quote:

I69 is just another interstate Highway, it starts above Ft Wayne IN and goes south through Evansville IN down thru western Ky and I don't know where to from there. Hope that helps
It's supposed to run all the way into Mexico making it easier for our trade imbalance to increase and allow Mexican truck drivers to be all over our roads in trucks that are nowhere as safe as those required by US transport laws.Quote:

I wish I had a $10 bill for every mirror that has been knocked off on that old monster. I too have spent a lot of time in its shadow and under the lights below it.
All things must pass.
Even on a barge it makes your butthole pucker thinking about driving across it.
