SUMMARY: This Labor Day, boaters in Frankfurt faced disruptions due to two bridges over the Kentucky River being closed for safety reasons. The Broadway Bridge has been off-limits since 1993 due to falling debris, while traffic was recently banned on the Singing Bridge after inspectors detected weak spots. Local residents, including longtime friends Janie Collins and Melanie Kincade, share nostalgic memories of the Singing Bridge, integral to their daily lives. Kincade, whose father established Frankfurt’s first public riverside park, emphasizes the bridge’s historical significance. Community members express the urgent need for repairs, though the state has not set a timeline for reopening.

Boaters in Frankfort found things to be a little different this Labor Day, with two bridges over the Kentucky River off-limits due to safety concerns.

SUMMARY: The heat is easing with a comfortable weekend ahead. Northeasterly breezes and drier air follow a front that brought showers and storms yesterday, leading to lower humidity and below-normal temperatures. Friday will be pleasant with highs near 84°F and plenty of sunshine. Saturday remains calm and warm with low humidity and breezy conditions. However, shower chances increase Sunday, especially in central and southern Kentucky, due to an incoming system. This rain may continue into Monday and Tuesday with scattered storms, easing by midweek. Temperatures will stay in the middle to upper 80s, with dry conditions returning by Thursday.
