The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) has closed a portion of KY 295 at the Lyon-Crittenden County Line, located between Eddyville and Dycusburg to ensure the public’s safety after engineering inspections identified structural issues on the bridge. According to KYTC District spokesman Keith Todd, the affected section will remain closed until further notice, as engineers assess whether the bridge can be repaired or if a replacement is needed.
He says KY 295 is closed at Lyon County mile marker 9.419 after a contract inspection team found deterioration of structural beams at the Livingston Creek Bridge. This is along KY 293 between Joe Peek Road in Lyon County and Millie Peek Road in Crittenden County. Motorists should use an alternate route and plan more travel time for commutes. Signage and barricades will be posted miles ahead of the bridge to restrict travel.
