KY 238 in Edmonson County Set for Temporary Closure for Bridge Rehabilitation

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. (Feb. 27, 2025) – A bridge rehabilitation project is expected to set up a long-term closure on KY 238 in Edmonson County. The KY 238 bridge over Big Reedy Creek (mile point 3.4) is expected to close on March 7 for approximately 60 days.

A detour using the other KY 238 intersection with KY 185 will be in place. The bridge rehabilitation project includes new bridge beams and a new bridge deck. The new rehabilitated bridge will use the same footprint as the existing bridge. When the rehabilitation is complete the weight limit restriction will be lifted. Currently, the bridge is limited to 18 tons.

The project contract was awarded in October 2024 to Cambry Contracting Inc for $645,000.

Snow, rain, sleet, 9/11, equipment failures, fires, sabotage, pandemic and tremendous attacks on our work hasn’t stopped us from serving our readers.

Jobe Publishing newspapers have partnered with the United States Postal Service since 1998 and we have never missed a weekly issue.

And these people want us to send all tax dollars to them and allow them post how they share it rather than letting local officials and local newspapers do it.

We think NOT. We say NO to HB263 and HB368. If you agree, you can call 502-564-8100 and leave message for your Senator asking to vote No; keep control here and preserve transparency.
