Closure of the Singing Bridge has been postponed until mid-March, the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet announced Monday.

The bridge was originally scheduled to be closed Thursday. G-Force Contracting, of Campbell, Ohio, was awarded a $1.26 million contract by KYTC for repairs and repainting of the bridge.

Work was postponed pending review and approval of the rigging plans for the painting and an agreement for a waste disposal site.

Once an agreement is made, G-Force Contracting will notify KYTC and a public announcement will be made on the new date for the bridge closure.

Repairs and repainting are expected to take several months.
