Load limit placed on Ky. 2123

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has posted a 3-ton limit on a drainage structure along Ky. 2123/Glendale Church Road in the Sheridan area of Crittenden County.

 

This drainage structure on Ky. 2123 carries a branch of Caney Creek under the roadway near the intersection with Love Cemetery Road. KyTC inspectors found erosion had undercut the bridge support structure.

 

This 3-ton load limit restricts the roadway at this location to passenger vehicles and pickup trucks only. Trucks and other vehicles that exceed the 3-ton load limit should seek an alternate route.

 

KyTC engineers are working to determine if the structure can be repaired or should be replaced. The load limit has been posted at the site.
