News Release

MILTON, Ken. and MADISON, Ind. – A public ceremony to dedicate the new Milton-Madison Bridge has been rescheduled for Tuesday, October 28. The governors from Indiana and Kentucky will be on hand to highlight the innovative solution used to replace the bridge.

When:

Tuesday, October 28

2:30 p.m.

Where:

Vaughn Drive (just east of the bridge)

Madison, IN

Who:

Gov. Steve Beshear, Kentucky

Gov. Mike Pence, Indiana

Other dignitaries
