A bridge along U.S. 62 in Nelson County will be closed for a superstructure project set to begin Monday.
Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District Four says the U.S. 62 bridge over Cedar Creek will be fully closed with work to be completed within 90 days. The bridge is located about 9.4 miles east of the Hardin-Nelson county line.
“The bridge over Cedar Creek is one of those structures that doesn’t look like it’s all that complicated because it’s relatively short and you can’t really see the superstructures as you drive across it, but it’s like any other bridge,” said KYTC District Four Public Information Officer Chris Jessie. “It has all those components, and what you can’t see below the bridge deck is what we’re working on replacing there, and crews have 90 days to get that work done and get the road reopened here as we head through spring.”
Galusha Contracting LLC was awarded the contract for the bridge project last November with a bid of about $525,000. A signed detour is posted along state routes on both sides of the bridge.
