Murray, KY – Work to rehabilitate the US 60 Cumberland River bridge will slow traffic on the bridge beginning later this month. A Department of Transportation spokesman says truck traffic will be restricted on the Livingston County bridge, and at night only passenger vehicles will be allowed to use it. The restrictions will prevent trucks and farm equipment over 10 feet wide from crossing the bridge during the day.
Engineer Denny Alvey says contractors will work around the clock to make sure the hardship placed on farmers and truckers will be short-lived. The work is tentatively scheduled to start June 14th.
