Speed Limit Reduced around Ledbetter Bridge Area

State transportation officials say the speed limit has been reduced to 35 mph on the US 60 Ledbetter Bridge.

This speed limit extends 1,500 feet off each end of the bridge and will improve traffic safety on the bridge and approaches while the three-ton load limit is in place.

You need to be aware of the speed limit change when traveling across the bridge.

The speed limit has also been lowered to 45 mph on KY 937/Cut Off Road in Livingston County between US 60 and KY 453.

This reduced speed limit will also help to maintain safety due to increased traffic and heavier vehicles that are using KY 937 as an alternate route while a strictly enforced three-ton load limit remains on the US 60 Ledbetter Bridge.

This 45 mile per hour speed limit posting extends the entire length of KY 937 from mile point 0 at US 60 to mile point 3 at KY 453/Iuka Road.

Due to the 45 mile per hour speed limit on this section of KY 937, the school zone in front of South Livingston Elementary School will now have a 35 mile per hour speed limit whenever the school zone beacons are flashing.

You should take note of this speed limit reductioin along KY 937/Cut Off Road in Livingston County.
