Bid for replacement of KY 874 Fredericks Ditch Bridge set for May 24

The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet is moving ahead with plans to replace a bridge on KY 874 near the Lisman community south of Dixon in Webster County.

In June 2012, the KY 874 Fredericks Ditch Bridge between KY 279 and KY 1340 was closed after four pilings on the structure were crushed causing it to drop about six inches. Transportation officials believe the incident was caused by an overweight truck. The bridge was restricted to a 20-ton load limit at the time of the incident.

KYTC District 2 Chief Engineer Kevin McClearn and his design staff began working on replacement plans and looking for a funding source get a project to construction.

This closure on KY 630/Manitou Road near the 5 mile marker is to allow the emergency replacement of a cross drain. Recent rains have washed out the shoulder and created a cavity under the roadway at this location.

KY 630 will be closed from approximately 8:00 a.m. to approximately 5:00 p..m., CDT, on Friday. This closure point is about a mile south of KY 132 near the KY 630 intersection with Bald Knob Hill Road in Webster County.
