MAUCKPORT, Ind. (AP) — Traffic along a southern Indiana bridge over the Ohio River at Mauckport in Harrison County will be restricted to one lane later this month as the span goes through inspection.

The Indiana Department of Transportation says the inspection depends on the weather and is scheduled May 20-23 on the Matthew E. Welsh Bridge.

Traffic restrictions will run from 8 a.m. to 6 p.m. daily. Vehicles wider than 12 feet will be unable to cross the bridge while the inspection is in progress.
