Update - Bridge replacement underway for
Madison County
Maple Grove Road/KY 1984 at MP 2.035 over Tates Creek Road
The Bridging Kentucky Program
LEXINGTON, Ky. (October 29, 2021) – The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises motorists that this news release serves as an update. The bridge on Maple Grove Road/KY 1984 was determined unsafe. Inspectors from District 7 had examined the bridge during a routine review and closed the bridge.
The bridge replacement project for Maple Grove Road/KY 1984 in Madison County is now progressing. A work delay had occurred with the project schedule in part due to contractor staff shortages (Covid-19). In addition, material failures with some of the concrete required that the bridge end bents be removed and replaced.
Beams were set for the new bridge on Wednesday, with the bridge deck to be poured soon. The anticipated completion date for the work is Wednesday, December 1. The project is part of the Bridging Kentucky Program.
Bridging Kentucky is a commitment to improving the safety, and soundness of the Commonwealth’s bridges by rehabilitating, repairing, or replacing critical bridges throughout the state. The program is designed to open closed structures, improve bridge lifespans, ensure appropriate weight capacities are met, and improve access, and mobility for all Kentuckians.
