Smithland bridge work to end next week

Deck rehabilitation work on the U.S. 60 Cumberland River Bridge at Smithlad – which started the week of June 14 – is expected to be complete by the middle of next week.

Engineers are awaiting the results of strength tests on sample concrete cylinders to check the quality control of materials used for the work. If tests turn out okay, the highway restrictions on the bridge will be lifted in a few days.
