Another area bridge has been closed due to substructure issues, this one is in Marshall County.
The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet has closed the Soldier Creek Bridge on KY 2603/Vanzora Road. KYTC inspectors believe some of the damage to the timber pilings may be due to vehicles exceeding weight limits crossing the bridge. Recent heavy rains have also contributed to structural problems.
KYTC said that they will be taking bids on the construction of a new bridge this spring, and that would mean construction would not begin before mid-summer.
In the meantime, the bridge is barricaded and closed to all traffic.
