Two area road projects completed in Livingston and Trigg Counties

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet District One office announced two area roads reopened Wednesday.

KY 866, also known as Paradise Road, has reopened in Livingston County following completion of a $440,000 bridge replacement project.

The roadway reopened Wednesday at mile point 4.69 between KY 2232, or Sugar Creek Road, and Furnace Pond Road. KY 866 had been closed since early May while a new bridge was built over Hazel Creek.

Approximately 108 vehicles travel that section of KY 866 on an average day.

Meanwhile, Pleasant Hill Church Road in Trigg County was also reopened Wednesday after paving was completed at mile point 1.9, about two miles west of KY 139. A new bridge was constructed over Burge Creek near Old Dover Road.

Trigg County received $450,000 for the bridge replacement through the state’s County-City Bridge Improvement Program.
