I may have a long story to post with this entry. =) These bridges were started in july of 2000 and completed in October of 2009. There is a railroad and a highway bridge next to eachother (hard to see in this picture) The traffic use to go over Ky Dam. They had to get the traffic off of the dam to make some repairs and improvements. I use to be a union construction worker, working on these bridges off and on my whole career. I assisted with the concrete in the later stages of the construction. The iron workers built a large RR truss on barges and floated it in place in August of 2009. (That was very neat) I will post some of the truss sometime. Anyways, I'm not real good at typing stories, but I figured I would give a little history on these bridges. I'm kind of partial, due to being a part of the construction.
