(AP) — The Moll family awaited the highly anticipated Madison-Milton bridge reopening for days — 37, to be exact — like many other area residents on both sides of the river. The family of four had been staying at a hotel and in homes of their Madison church family during the weeks-long bridge closure, only making the 80-minute detoured drive home on the weekends. The family's home is just eight miles from the bridge on the Kentucky side of the river, but much of their usual activities — their jobs, church, social events and college classes at Ivy Tech — are on the Indiana side of the Ohio River. The Molls expected to follow the detour through the Markland Locks and Dam Bridge when the bridge first closed when a steel bridge bearing dislodged. Usually the daily commute took about 20 minutes, she said, but the detour added more than an hour each way with good traffic. "God really blessed us with a great church family," Dawnice said, adding the family hopes to one day "pay it forward" for all the kindness they've received over the last six weeks.
