Work is expected to begin this week on a deck replacement project on the William S. Ritchie Jr. Bridge in Ravenswood.
In December 2025, Triton Construction Inc. was awarded a contract for $11,265,000 to replace the steel grid central span of the bridge with a lightweight concrete deck. The remaining bridge spans will receive a concrete overlay.
Built in 1981, the 2,710-foot bridge carries US 33 across the Ohio River in Ravenswood.
Contractors plan to work on one lane of the two lane bridge at a time, with traffic lights set up at each end of the structure to control traffic. Work is expected to be complete in late November 2027.
