The Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) advises of an extended closure of Bridge #2 over the Middle Fork of Beargrass Creek (mile point 1.796) in Cherokee Park, located in Jefferson County.

Original plans included repairs to the bridge deck and rails, and improvements to the balustrades and toe walls. Contract crews performing the work identified additional deterioration underneath the deck surface that was visually obstructed before work began, prompting the need to fully replace the bridge. Work will resume once a redesign is finalized and permitting is approved. The anticipated completion date of this project is set for late 2023.

KYTC is coordinating the bridge project with Louisville Parks and Recreation and Olmsted Parks Conservancy.

The date and duration of this work may be adjusted if inclement weather or other unforeseen delays occur.
