The Mohrs Lane Bridge (Bridge B-0143) over the CSX Railroad, north of Pulaski Highway, was closed in 2007 because of structural deterioration.

The structure is scheduled to be advertised for construction this year. The final plans are almost complete. The National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA) was approved for this project and the process to acquire the Right of way has begun. This bridge will be part of the future Campbell Boulevard Corridor.
