Henderson, Kentucky Shower Trailer Planning for I-69 Bridge Crews
The project's three sections and timeline, and what highway and bridge crews need on site.
Key points
- The project has three sections: the Kentucky approach, the river bridge, and the Indiana approach.
- The project site says bridge construction should begin in 2027 and be complete by 2031.
- Linear highway jobs move, so smaller towable units often fit best.
The I-69 Ohio River Crossing links Henderson, Kentucky, with Evansville, Indiana. The project's official site describes three sections: Kentucky approach work, the bridge crossing, and Indiana approach work. For the bridge section, it says “Construction is expected to begin in 2027 and be complete by 2031.”
What a bridge and highway crew needs
- Mobility. Approach work moves along the corridor; a 13ft Luxury Shower-Restroom Combination Trailer (3 Individual Stalls) can follow the work more easily than a large trailer.
- Toilet counts. Under OSHA 1926.51, adopted in Kentucky by 803 KAR 2:403, one toilet covers up to 20 workers; add 1 seat and 1 urinal per 40 above that.
- Showers for river work. Crews on the water or in mud often want a hot shower before leaving; a shower trailer handles that.
- Access and permits. Coordinate placement with the contractor and the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet's work zone rules.
