POSEYVILLE, Ind. (AP) _ Erosion along the Wabash River has led to plans for replacing the Interstate 64 bridges linking southern Indiana and Illinois within the next few years.
 
  Officials say the two bridges are less than 50 years old but that erosion around the bridge piers has accelerated with changes in the river’s flow since 1985.
 
  The Evansville Courier & Press reports that the Illinois Department of Transportation this year completed $2.5 million in emergency repairs on the I-64 bridge piers.
 
  The estimated $71 million bridges replacement is included in the Illinois highway department’s 2015-2019 projects plan. Illinois and Indiana will share the project cost, with Illinois overseeing the work.
 
  Indiana highway agency spokeswoman Cher Elliott says money is budgeted for Indiana’s share.
