Edmonson Voice Report:
According to a social media post on X, The Kentucky Department of Highways District 3 has announced that the Bear Creek project is nearing completion.

The post said that contractors are soon to be finished with the project that is one month ahead of schedule.

The bridge has been closed since February 5th and has caused delays for commuters in the area. A detour has been in place since that time that routes through Bee Spring, causing anywhere from an additional 10-25 minutes of drive time.
