Kentucky Transportation Cabinet inspectors plan to conduct a walk-through inspection of the U.S. 60 Cumberland River Bridge at Smithland in Livingston County on Thursday.
Motorists should be alert for one-lane traffic with alternating flow controlled by flaggers between the hours of 8 a.m. and noon Thursday. Delays should be minimal.
The U.S. 60 Cumberland River bridge at Smithland, also known as the Lucy Jefferson Lewis Memorial Bridge and the Smithland Bridge, is at U.S. 60 Livingston County milepoint 12.348.
The 1,817-foot through truss structure was opened to traffic in 1931. About 5,500 vehicles cross the bridge in an average day.
All Kentucky bridges get a detailed inspection every two years. Long-span bridges get an additional walk-through inspection at least once a year.
