LOUISVILLE, Ky. (WDRB) — The Bernheim Bridge in Cherokee Park has reopened after months of repairs.

Crews waterproofed and repaired the concrete arch, reset the railings, fixed the masonry and put down new pavement.

The restoration project cost more than $1 million. It started in February as part of the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet’s Bridging Kentucky Program.
