The Louisa City Council voted last week to support the renaming of the Louisa-Fort Gay Bridge over the Big Sandy River in honor of Fred M. Vinson, the 13th chief justice of the Supreme Court of the United States. Vinson was born in and is buried in Louisa. The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet must now approve the proposal.
