The bridge in the US state of Kentucky lost an entire span when hit by a cargo vessel in January. Hall Contracting is on schedule to complete the US$7 million repair works before the end of the month.

Eggners Ferry Bridge crosses Kentucky Lake. The bridge is 1,065m long and has six through-truss pans totalling 488m. It was already scheduled for replacement at the time of the collapse. Both Eggners Ferry Bridge and a crossing of nearby Lake Barkley are being replaced with four-lane arched bridges in a project that is still in preconstruction phase.
