Judge/Executive Lindsey Says Over $200K in Funding Coming For Green River Bridge Improvements3/6/2024 Darren Doyle, story and photo:
Improvements are coming for the Green River Bridge in Brownsville in the tune of at least $230,000 in funding from the KY Department of Transportation, according to Edmonson County Judge/Executive Scott Lindsey. "I walked the bridge last fall with Joe Plunk (Chief District Engineer for KY DOT District 3) as he looked things over," Lindsey said. "Some places look pretty rough with rebar showing, but he said the bridge is still structurally sound at this point. The main problems that are seen are cosmetic, but if those things aren't solved, they could turn into larger problems." Judge Lindsey said the plan is to utilize a special bucket truck that would allow workers to be suspended over the side of the bridge and scan for any issues. The full scope of work would then be determined and the project would move forward with the necessary improvements. Wes Watt, public information officer for KY DOT District 3 said total funding and the scope of the work has not yet been completely determined. "We are still working on what repairs and overhauls will be done to the bridge," he said. "We are hoping to have everything finalized and work starting later this spring."
