Deteriorating bridge forces closure of a section of Boyd Road in Graves County

A segment of Boyd Road in Graves County has been closed because of the deteriorating condition of the Brush Creek Branch Bridge.

Kentucky Transportation Cabinet inspectors ordered the closure of the bridge which had previously had a three-ton limit. The bridge is south of Wingo on Boyd Road between Taylor Road and Lloyd Loop. 

The Brush Creek Branch Bridge has been barricaded until engineers and the Graves County Road Department can evaluate if the bridge can be repaired or will need to be replaced.
