Long-term closing of Little Beaver Creek Road starts Tuesday

BOWLING GREEN, Ky. – Residents accustomed to using Little Beaver Creek Road in Warren County will need to make alternate plans. Starting Tuesday and likely through October, a bridge over the roadway will be undergoing replacement, according to Warren County Public Works Director Josh Moore.

Warren Fiscal Court has accepted a $363,709 bid from Stewart Richey Construction to replace a low-water ford bridge over Little Beaver Creek near the Edmonson County line, and will use $80,000 in emergency bridge funds from the Kentucky Transportation Cabinet for the project, Moore said

The bridge is typically inundated by the flooding stream it crosses, and the replacement is expected to alleviate the majority of such problems, he said. The bridge is about 50 feet long.
